Have you tried setting up something like zope.domain.com with the https SiteRoot and Apache pointing directly at manage?

Pointing a virtual host directly at manage I can do, but where do I put the SiteRoot? If I put an https SiteRoot in a directory, then plain ol' unencrypted access won't be happening... all of the URLs inside the site will point to 'https://' instead of 'http://', right? Or am I missing something?

You could additional add in a rewrite/proxy command to redirect to the SSL side for www.domain.com/manage.

Again, getting Apache to do the right thing I've got figured out. It's just the SiteRoot causing the problem; all of the links inside the folder with the SiteRoot will be either 'http' or 'https', but I'm looking for some solution that will allow either, depending on the previous REQUEST. I know that SiteRoot is basically a special kind of access rule, maybe a smarter access rule can be used instead of a SiteRoot... Thanks for your feedback, and please let me know if there's something that I'm not seeing. rob
