404 on https

Hello,

I have a hard time understanding a scenario regarding a 404 on https.

Scenario 1:
http://example.com/css/styles.css - returns fine.
[example.com...] - returns SSL connection errors

I understand that an SSL certificate may not be issued/configured on this site. I have no problem with the scenario above.

Scenario 2:
http://example.com/css/styles.css - returns fine.
[example.com...] - returns 404 or Not Found.

Now, my understanding is that if a site has no SSL certificate, it would just return an SSL connection error like in Scenario 1. But this Scenario 2 returns a 404 or Not Found.

Does this really mean a secure connection of a resource file (css file in our case) can be missing/does not exists? Or there is any other explanation about this?

I hope someone with knowledge could give me an insight.

Thanks!

Do https requests resolve to a different folder on the server?

If so, is that folder empty?

The site was using wp-engine with CDN-content delivery network. I did contact support and says secure protocol is not possible with that kind of feature. I have no idea about the framework so I guess I have to disable the CDN. :(

Thanks also. After I disable the CDN, the redirection stops for all the resources(js,css,img,etc.). And everything works fine now. :) Thank you for your response, as always.
