I am trying to use SSL on a Browser-Enabled form. When I use a regular
HTTP link and submit the form, it works fine, however, when I use SSL
(HTTPS) and try to submit the form, I get this error message:

The form cannot be submitted to the Web server either because your
computer is offline or because the host server is currently
unavailable. If this problem persists, contact your network
administrator.

Are there any steps to enabling SSL for browser-enabled InfoPath
forms? Any ideas on how to get around this error?

Did you try Tools \ Submit Options
-make a note of the name in "Choose a data connection for submit"

Click Manage (this takes you to the data connections), click the name you
made note of above, and click "modify"

Make sure that has the URL as https

Other than that, I don't recall doing anything special on our forms when we
switched from http to https

I did have my data connetion URL set to "https". It turned out to be
an Alternate Access Path that wasn't setup correctly. Thanks.
