HTTPS A SINGLE STATIC PAGE?

I figured it out!! Finally!!
I do believe it is a media temple thing, but at least I figured it out. In the wp-includes/cononial.php file you have to change ‘HOST_NAME’ to ‘SERVER_NAME’ on line 48.

diced:this information is just odd.there is no line in canonical.php(I think this is what you mean by cononial)Host_name or Server_Name on line 48 in the referenced file.
here is the block I believe you are talking about:

if ( !$requested_url ) {
		// build the URL in the address bar
		$requested_url  = ( !empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'] ) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) == 'on' ) ? 'https://' : 'https://';
		$requested_url .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
		$requested_url .= $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

So where in this would I make your changes?

Did this work?

There is some content that I’d like to force SSL on

Thanks

I am successfully securing just one page on a website:
https://www.chillyo.com/shop/check-out/
with a private SSL certificate.
I secured this page by pasting /shop/check-out/ in the Additional URLs box of Admin SSL plugin options page.

That worked beautifully for me mccormicky! Thanks!
