[FX.php List] [OFF] https per page?

[Joel Shapiro]

Thanks everybody

It's good to hear that SSL doesn't really slow things down too much.   
I think I'll make the links to the login & checkout pages full  
https... links, and then let users stay in https via relative links to  
other pages on the site.

FWIW: I had been thinking of checking in the PHP, via something like  
this:

 >

Best,
-Joel
