This may be a totally confused question.

I have implemented htaccesss/htpasswd for registered users to access a 'members only' area.

Is there any way of forcing just the htpassword popup to use ssl and letting everything else be standard http?

ie; user goes to http://mysite.com and selects 'members'
This takes him to http://mysite.com/members/welcome.php

The members subdirectory is password protected (via htaccess/htpasswd), so the popup box prompts for user/password.

Is there any way of sending the password from the popup using ssl? (I have a shared ssl certificate)

Thanks
