Hi.
Your HTTP Connector will default to 443 as the redirectPort.
You then also must have a HTTPS Conntector listening on 443 in the same
engine/service as the HTTP connector (i.e. the host must be accessible on
both).
The redirectPort will be used if you have a <security-constraint> specified
in your webapps web.xml.
The security contraint can be set to CONFIDENTIAL - do a search on
<security-constraint> and CONFIIDENTIAL - you should get a number of results
back.
Briefly a simple security constraint in the web.xml (at the end for my
implementations):
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>HTTP Login SLL
Forwarding</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/login/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>
CONFIDENTIAL
</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
Note - you can have multiple of those. Hope that helps.
Regards,
Carl

Subject: http request sent to https port
I have https enabled on port 80.
If i request 'http://localhost/', it comes back with some errenous http
reply which my browser can't interpret (nor can wget).
On other web sites, I see that my http request gets redirected to https, but
seemingly on the same port.
Anyone know how this is done? i.e. am I being redirected to a different port
but its 'hidden' (i can redirect but can't hide the port), or being
redirected to the same port but for https (this i don't know how to do..)
i.e. to clarify:
i type in 'http://somewebsite/login'
and i go to 'https://somewebsite/login'
