SSL Redirect To Port 80

[Jim Prior <Ji...@PacBell.Net>]

Hi,

I'm running Tomcat 3.2.1 standalone on Windows 98.

Using a "normal" HTTP connector, I can enter http://server/ on my browser
and be successfully redirected to http://server/index.html

However, if I use SSL, https://server/ will be redirected to port 80 rather
than 443.  If I use https://server/index.html I connect (via SSL at port
443) no problem.

The best clue I've found on the archive is:

http://w4.metronet.com/~wjm/tomcat/2000/Sep/msg00576.html

But, the "secure" parameter doesn't have any effect.

Any suggestions as to where I should look next?

IATY.
