You can't have http and https listen on the same port since https has an entire SSL handshake that must take place before the GET/POST transfer takes place. But you could have the 8080 redirect to something like 8081 with HTTPs running on that instead. Of course, the "correct" way is to use port 80 for http, and redirect to 443 for https, since all other ports will really have problems for just about anybody with a firewall "correctly" configured.
