Author SSL Setup

OK, here's my dilemma:
I have a site with a login script and the usual checking each time you hit a
page that requires it. We have finally gotten an SSL cert and it is
installed, but from here I am not sure of the best approach to get it
implemented. If all of the files pertaining to the area that I want SSL are
in /inc and /mysupport, can I just designate those directories as requiring
SSL and leave it at that? I am trying to find a way around having to touch
every single link that we have to those areas to make them all HTTPS. Am I
making any sense?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I would update links so that they point to https://<servername>/yournewpage

But in the interim, you can do some "magic" with the 403.4 error page.
Create your own custom error page that detects what HTTP URL the user is
trying to access, and redirects them to the corresponding HTTPS URL

Cheers
Ken
