Re: HTTP and HTTPS on same Jetty port (with possible redirect)

[Carsten Ziegeler <cz...@apache.org>]

Hi Rob,

sorry for the late response, the way you suggest implementing it sounds 
ok to me; however I'm really wondering how often such a feature is used 
as https by default uses port 443, so in many cases you would redirect 
http on port 80 to https on port 443.

Regards
Carsten
