Based on what I’ve been able to Google, it would appear that the main problem is that the HTTPS handshake occurs before my .htaccess file fires. It also appears that the root cause of the silly IE8 domain mismatch error is the fact that I am on a hosted server, regardless of the fact my site has a dedicated IP address.
So for now, there seems to be nothing I can do. I don’t really care about IE8 anymore. But the fact remains that people who use that browser trying to come to our site via HTTPS link will get that scary error page and think something is fishy about our site. That’s not really the impression I’d like to give, even to those stubborn old timers who refuse to update their browser. But oh well!
