Let's reverse that. Let's say that the site's SSL server is

https://secure.foo.com/

and they only have an SSL certificate for secure.foo.com

they wouldn't want to have to have Bugzilla live at
http://secure.foo.com/ but rather have, say,

https://secure.foo.com/bugzilla/

and

http://bugzilla.foo.com/
