Well, I appreciate all the responses, but I must admit, I'm more confused
than ever!
When I try to browse https://www-dev.squaretrade.com/index_SSL.jsp, I get
"page cannot be displayed".
I am able to view the same page with just http://....
Apache is started w/ apachectl startssl and it starts up w/o any problems.
Here is my httpd.conf:
NameVirtualHost 172.168.250.99:80
<VirtualHost 172.168.250.99:80>
ServerName www-dev.squaretrade.com
Redirect http://www.dev-squaretrade.com/index_SSL.jsp

</VirtualHost>
NameVirtualHost 172.168.250.99:443
<VirtualHost 172.168.250.99:443>
ServerName www-dev.squaretrade.com

Subject: Re: how do you set specific pages to use ssl?
If you are using a programming language, like PHP (which I use and love!),
you can set it up to detect whether it is port 80 or 443 and redirect as
necessary, avoiding the error message.
I have it set up so that if they view a page on port 80 that I want to be
viewed secure, it automatically redirects them to the same page on port 443.
Works nicely, and is transparent to the user. I do the oposite for the rest
of the site, so they don't surf the entire site on port 443 (more resource
intensive, slower).
