Sage hosting remaps port 443 (external SSL) to 442 (internally). So the MASISAPI.INI file has to be configured differently. A picture's worth a thousand words, so here’s how a Sage hosting MASISAPI.INI file looks (this is the actual working file for LabLink Scientific Supply, Inc.):
[debugging]
[HTTP Remappings]
host206.ebm.bestsoftwarehost.com=http://65.81.72.108:2953
host206.ebm.bestsoftwarehost.com:442=http://65.81.72.108:2953
[HTTPS Remappings]
[Http Proxy Remappings]
host206.ebm.bestsoftwarehost.com:442=https://host206.ebm.bestsoftwarehost.com
Note the last line. This apparently lets the ProvideX web engine inject the appropriate base href tag (which, in turn, allows the calling browser to fetch CSS and JavaScript files properly). Note also that the [HTTPS Remappings] section is empty...but that makes sense if SSL requests are being remapped by the firewall to port 442 (which isn't standard SSL). Hence the second line in the [HTTP Remappings] section.
