SSL on POWWEB. How they want you to use it...but can ZenCart?

I've been struggling with my client's hosting company, POWWEB, in regards to the fact they don't offer an SSL certificate which I need to make a Authorize.net AIM connection (they do have cURL). Instead, they sent me to a page like this:

Secure Socket Layer Services
At PowWeb, any file that you can access via your domain can be accessed through a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection as well.

To access any of your files through a SSL connection, use the following URL:
https://yoursite.powweb.com/<anyfile>
... where <anyfile> is the name of any file in your web directory.

Files in subdirectories will work too. Just use
https://yoursite.powweb.com/<directory>/<anyfile>
... where <directory> is the name of any subdirectory.

This isn't really going to work with ZenCart, is it?

PowWeb has long been known to have big problems related to performance and configuration.

However, that said, what you quoted sounds like a common shared-SSL configuration.

Simply set your HTTPS_SERVER setting in your configure.php files to follow the pattern they described: https://YOUR_SITE.powweb.com
