Yes, I put that in my VirtualHost definition with a Location directive to
/test/ and it works very well, thank you. One odd thing. In IE 5.0, anyway,
the address prefix stays as http: _but_ it _does_ seem to make a secure
connection. I do get a "padlock" and no "Access forbidden!" This is _not_
necessarrily a bad thing. But it's probably not a consistant reaction among
different browsers.
