I’m not sure what exactly  
“/var/www/https:/secure.domain.com/index.html” is (should be  
/var/www/index.html) How can I correct this?

Find the Referer: page, the place where these clients found this link,  
and change it to point to

instead of

/[https://secure.domain.com/](https://secure.domain.com/)

> request: “HEAD /[https://secure.domain.com/](https://secure.domain.com/)  
> HTTP/1.1”, host: “[secure.domain.com](http://secure.domain.com)”

That is the request that is being received.

Good luck,
