how to force apache-2.x to redirect all traffic to port 443?

[Chong Yu Meng]

Hi Llama !

I think mod_rewrite would do it for you. However, I am also, just now, 
learning how to use mod_rewrite. This was actually brought up on the 
Tomcat mailing list a couple weeks ago. The reason for this funky setup 
is to avoid even thornier issues, such as configuring Tomcat to handle 
SSL requests instead of Apache, and possibly hiding the application 
server (Tomcat) behind a firewall that sits between it and the web server.
