 * My web hosting provider has a rather unique way of setting up https for its hosted
   websites. Say my domain is [http://www.mydomain.com](http://www.mydomain.com),
   any subdirectory with the name “ssl” will be auto-redirected to a shared host
   using its shared SSL certificate. e.g. when accessing the URL [http://www.mydomain.com/blog/ssl/index.php](http://www.mydomain.com/blog/ssl/index.php),
   the server will auto-redirect the browser to [https://p1.secure.hostingprod.com/@mydomain.com/blog/ssl/index.php](https://p1.secure.hostingprod.com/@mydomain.com/blog/ssl/index.php),
   and serve the contents via https from that URL.
    In addition, the web hosting
   provider doesn’t allow customers to edit .htaccess files too.
 * Given these restrictions, is there anyway to configure wordpress to use https
   for admin? I’d like to host my wordpress installation under [http://www.mydomain.com/blog/](http://www.mydomain.com/blog/),
   but use https for admin, which means the php files necessary for wordpress admin
   must be moved to a subdirectory called “ssl”, and I have to somehow set the plugin
   to use the redirected URL.

 * Not with those kinds of restrictions. I don’t think so anyway. I would certainly
   suggest using a simpler host. They’re making things too difficult.
