SSL Secure Server:

Your Netmar account gives you unlimited access to Netmar's SSL secure server. To access a document through SSL, simply address it as follows:

https://www.netmar.com/~USERNAME/file.html

where USERNAME is your login name (in lowercase), and file.html is the file located in your "www" directory.

Any other items reference in this file with relative links also go through the secure server. This includes CGI scripts as well. So if the file were an HTML form, and the action were just "/cgi-bin/...", then that script would be called securely.

On pages referenced AFTER a secure transaction, BE SURE to use absolute links to point the browser back to an http:// address (instead of staying on https://) as otherwise, browsers will continue to browse your site over the secure server, which is considerably slower than plain access due to the overhead of processing encryption.
