if i install a ssl certificate for my domain name (mydomain.com), will the “cgi-bin” directory also be secured even though it is not inside the “html” folder?

Answer by: George Kaloyanov, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

Yes, everything that is accessible with “mydomain.com” is secured including the /cgi-bin folder. The scripts within your /cgi-bin can be accessed securely using the following format:

https://mydomain.com/cgi-bin/myscriptfilename

Note: Replace mydomain.com with your actual hosted domain name and myscriptfilename with the actual filename of the script that you’d like to access.
