How can I allow my Users to send files via a secure sockets layer, SSL?
In your dropbox.html form tag, you must add the absolute URL to your secured copy of the dropbox.cgi script, starting with https://
The same applies to any images, external style sheets, external javascript files or any other elements loaded by your HTML page.
Then open dropbox_key.cgi in a plain text editor and set the $SecureServer variable as described in the script itself. Upload it to your server and your entire copy will now run in secure server mode.
