I have a site that uses a shared SSL certificate. The domain for most  
parts is [mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com), but the SSL areas must be addressed as

[https://hostdomain/secure/mydomain.com/](https://hostdomain/secure/mydomain.com/)

How do I deal with this?  
I can use the full url to get to the controllers, as in for example

[https://hostdomain/secure/mydomain.com/items/](https://hostdomain/secure/mydomain.com/items/)

but nothing else gets found - no stylesheets, images, or layouts. How  
do I handle the routing?
