Hello Charter,
Thank you for all your help. I think I got it to work. It still won't jump to the
https://secure.mydomain.com host/pages for indexing. However the pages in
http://www.mydomain.com are indexing correctly now. Got it to work. You are the man.
I have not tried your new robot_functions file at this point though. I will try it as soon as I find a free moment. At this point in time the non-indexing/stalling when it comes to a
https://secure link is not that important, but I do want to revisit this issue, because maybe someone else may need the solution.
Catch up with you later.
Mr. L
