 * Hi Folks,
 * I’ve been running Spectacu.la Discussion for a while and have been quite happy
   with it. However, I recently tried to force SSL in one of my blogs, and this 
   seems to break Spectacu.la. Whenever someone attempts to post a comment under
   HTTPS, nothing happens except a yellow “error” bar below the comment window which
   appears, then disappears. The post won’t post. When I check my logs, the only
   errors there are “file does not exist” errors like these:
 * File does not exist: /home/usr1/public_html/404.shtml
    File does not exist: /
   home/usr1/public_html/favicon.ico
 * When I access the same page without SSL, there are no errors. When I disable 
   Spectacu.la Discussion, people can post comments just fine under SSL (when I 
   force it or they manually type “[https://&#8221](https://&#8221);). For now, 
   because I need SSL, I have had to disable Spectacu.la Discussion for the entire
   site just to get that one HTTPS page to work.
 * Any help is appreciated.
