[thelist] SSL Questions

For a client site the digital certificate is installed and working just fine
if I create a link with "https://..."

My questions are these:

1. Is there a way (other than with some kind of meta refresh) to force the
browser to open SSL even if they don't type "https://..."?

I.e., if a user tries to go to http://www.somedomain.com/index.htm it
automatically redirects them to https://www.somedomain.com/index.htm

2. I use relative references for most of my links inside the site
(checkout.asp, not http://www.somedomain.com/checkout.asp). Let's say that
on completing checkout.asp (which is under SSL) they are going to get
directed to thankyou.htm - how do I make it so that page is _not_ under SSL?
I.e., it would go to http://www.somedomain.com/thankyou.htm, not https://...

(It never ceases to amaze me how much I _don't_ know after all these years!)

Thanks, Joel
