How can you have https:// under addon domains?

    I have a site, and added an add on domain few days ago.
    When I put https://****.com (add on domain) and not http://****.com, it redirects to my primary domain.

    I don't have SSL, but I want it to use it as https:// anyway.
    Please tell me if there are any scripts or any .htaccess or anything that makes add on domain to use https:// without redirecting to primary domain.

    Your hosting service needs to support a shared SSL because if you don't have a certificate and begin using https indiscriminately they can redirect those requests to its main website instead of any of yours.

    As per the .htaccess tweak, try this:

    Faking https? Sounds like a scam attempt to me.

    No not faking it.
    I have proxy, and some places require https://, so it doesn't get stuck, and end up error later.

    It's not that they want SSL, they just want the https:// attached. Like domain names .. :confused:
    I've had SSL, and they cost a lot. I have dedicated IP, and it is pretty safe. I also heard you can make your own SSL easily :O

    I would suggest you use open source SSL such as openssl dot org
