I do not know the answer to your question, but a reasonable work around
is to configure your web server to redirect non-ssl requests to https:// ...
I do this for certain directories, i.e. webmail:
<Location ~ /webmail>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =off
RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}/webmail/ [R,L]
</Location>
Note there isno space between "=" and "off" in the RewriteCond line
I did this because I would often forget to put https:// ... in the web
browser when accessing my mail.... this way, requests are properly
handled doing "what I mean" instead of "what I say". :-)
Now, I can just enter "my domain name/webmail" in the browser, and I get
a proper ssl connection. I don't care about the extra "overhead" of the
redirect.
