Linking back to unsecure pages from Secure (Shared SSL) pages

[Guest]

Hi there,

I have some links in my cart.tpl that are hard-coded directly into the template, and they link back to top-level categories, like this:

 <div class="extraNav">

<ul>

<li><a href="index.php">HOME</a></li>

<li><a href="womens/cat_1.html">WOMENS</a></li>

<li><a href="mens/cat_2.html">MENS</a></li>

<li><a href="delivery/info_5.html">DELIVERY</a></li>

<li><a href="shop-news/info_7.html">OUTLET</a></li>

<li><a href="http://URL_edited_out_becuase_in_production.co.uk" target="_blank">BLOG</a></li>

<li><a href="index.php?_a=contactus">CONTACT US</a></li>

</ul>

</div>

The home page link works fine, and redirects back to the nonsecure (non-ssl) address fine. Im fairly sure my Shared SSL is configured correctly - all other urls work ok As does the contact page. However the link to the 'top level' categories and supplemental pages (WOMENS, MENS, DELIVERY, OUTLET) are broken.

I get the following 404 error message:

The 404 message: The requested URL /home/sites/URL_edited_because_in_production.co.uk/public_html/index.php was not found on this server.

and the URL in the address bar is:

https://web38.secure-secure.co.uk/URLedited...mens/cat_1.html

web38.secure-secure.co.uk is the directory of the Shared SSL account. Friendly URLS installed.

Any ideas gratefully received. The site is currently in production at the moment so cant really give the URL.

The same request in support area. SEO vs shared SSL is problem because of the same .htaccess and the RewriteBase - the non SSL and SSL web relative paths are different. FULL non SSL URL is the trick for hard coded links at this time.
