This is a much used method to get around this problem, and one that is supported by most shopping cart software. Normal the cart script, or any script for that matter, hands the client off to the secure URL during the passing of sensitive data only (i.e. credit card info). Example: https://securesite.net/ = /usr/local/www/securesite/ http://commonsite.net/ = /usr/local/www/commonsite/ Secure link to commonsite.net from within /usr/local/www/securesite/: https://securesite.net/commonsite/ = ln -s /usr/local/www/commonsite/ /usr/local/www/securesite/commonsite/ = /usr/local/www/commonsite/ Maybe a scenario you can put to use.
