I thought about that - I have the php skills but am not sure in this
short time that I have the drupal skills to build the module.
Furthermore I'm feeling like if i can't get an apache directive or a
module to work, I think my module would likely have the same problem.
There has to be a conflict somewhere whether it's drupal, another
module or the host's server config.<br>

properly. It's actually
exactly the same problem I see with my apache directives - when
redirecting
back from https it results in an endless loop of redirects, resulting
in apache
reporting "this page is redirecting in a way that will never resolve"
- or maybe it's firefox that gives up I can't remember.<br>
<br>
And I've seen the other post, but I definitely am not going down the
multi-site
path for one page. That's like killing a cockroach with a shotgun.<br>
