there is no need to do anything for this cause your browser knows that it has to send https queries on port 443. the reason that you are getting "page can not be displayed" error might be that tomcat is not starting listening on port 443.
just check by issuing a command "telnet domain.com 443" if a connection is established or not. hitesh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard S.
