Hi Gavin,

I have PHP installed which lets you easily force any page to be accessed via
SLL. Just add the following PHP to the top of each page you want to be
accessed only via SSL.

<?
  if($SERVER_PORT != "443")
  {
    header("Location: https://"; . $HTTP_HOST);
    exit;
  }
?>

Change 443 to whatever port SSL is using on your RAQ but this is the default
so if you havn't tinckered too much with your server then this should work
straight off.

If nothing else, it's a good reason to set PHP up on your box :-)

Thanks,
Steven
