    SSL is working fine on my site, just a simple question.

    If I type https for any page, I'm getting the page via SSL. Is there a way to disable SSL for specific pages via the control panel, similar to the file security tab in IIS?

    It's not that big a deal because worse case is someone gets a page over a secure channel even though there's no info to protect. And no one is likely to type in https for pages that are not secured. Just wondering what everyone else here does.

    Thanks in advance.

    No. This is not technically doable on the web server. You can, however, programatically handle this if you wish. ie. you parse if the request is HTTP or HTTPS and then redirect to either HTTP or HTTPS.

    Most customers drive traffic to their http site and only only secure (https) pages that need to be secured.

    That's what I'm doing for the pages I want to secure. So I have to do the opposite for the pages that don't need to be secure. I take it this is what most people here do. Thanks.
