I have spend 5 days in attempting convert my OSC site across to https without success. However I feel that the solution is close at hand. These are the messages I have been following so far:

My ISP assisted me with follow:
======================
We do not allow symlinks on our shared servers as they are security risks. A hacker can follow symlinks and get access to the root of the server. However, our programmers have developed an html code that you can put in your httpdosc folder that will redirect visitors to your site and checkout store in your httpsdocs folder. Just upload everything to the httpsdocs folder and use the html code in your httpdocs folder and it will redirect to your httpsdocs folder where your site and store are located:
<HTML><HEAD><me ta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=https://yourdomain.com">
</HEAD>
<BODY bgColor=white>
</BODY></HTML>
====================
My question is quite simple,
1. Assuming I have changed the configure.php in both /includes & /admin/includes
2. install a configure.php in includes/local/configure.php
Q1. Do I justcopy the OSC directory (/shop) from /httpdosc to /httpsdocs & html code in /httpdocs?
Q2. Does that mean all my users would only get https connection regardless if they are browsing my catalog
Q3. Can someone suggest any other better way of handling this situation?

Paul
