Well, yes and no. You're trying to organize your files so that each set is only 
accessed 
via one protocol (http or https), which makes pretty good sense from an administrative 
point of view. On the other hand, you're not necessarily *required* to do that: unless 
your web server somehow directs all https traffic to a separate branch of your web 
directory structure, users can access any file on the server via either http or https 
(provided, of course, that your web server is properly configured).

What this means is that you can have a user access a certain page via https by simply 
providing a link containing "https://"; as the prefix. The down side of this solution 
is that 
users will be free to *not* use https by typing the path to the page directly into the 
browser without the "https://"; prefix.

Am I making this even more confusing?

:o)
