The normal method for connecting to your site via SSL is:

https://www.mysite.com/formname.htm

or

https://www.mysite.com/foldername/formname.htm

You host must configure the extensions to use port 443 as well as port 80. You can not make this
change. Have you contacted your host regarding this issue?

You are dealing with two separate issues here, the above examples are browser related, not extension
related.
