Hello,

I have an application on standalone Tomcat that works fine with Konqueror and 
Mozilla, but not with Microsoft Explorer: it doesn't 'automatically switch' 
to https.

E.g. the page 'secretary.html' is security constrained (see web.xml fragment 
below). When i call the page in Konqueror or Mozilla as 
http://my.domain.net:8080/secretary.html, the page is shown after the login 
and the url in the location bar is https://my.domain.net:8443/secretary.html 
(everything is fine).

But when i do the same in Explorer, the location bar shows 
http://my.domain.net:8080/secretary.html and it says 'page cannot be 
displayed'. At the other hand, when i call the protected page directly as 
https://my.domain.net:8443/secretary.html it works fine.

any explanation for this behavior?

cheers,
dirk
