- 
  Let's say you want http://www.domain.com/secure/ to always be sent over SSL (I presume here that both the normal and the SSL vhost have the same content). You could do this by linking to the correct page from within your HTML pages... but there will always be some user who will sneak by it that way.

+ == Using virtual hosts ==
  
  When using SSL, you will frequently have at least two virtual hosts: one on port 80 to serve ordinary requests, and one on port 443 to serve SSL.  If you wish to redirect users from the non-secure site to the SSL site, you can use an ordinary [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect Redirect] directive inside the non-secure VirtualHost:

- === Forcing SSL '''(doesn't require mod_rewrite!)''' ===
- 
- This will check to make sure that the connection is using SSL, or it will fail. This works regardless of if you are serving SSL on port 443, 80, 81, etc. This is the most secure setting for SSL logins.
- 
- This also fixes having to type in the username and password twice by requiring the HTTP_HOST to match the HTTP_HOST that your SSL certificate is set-up for, in the case above, the SSL is for google.com not www.google.com
- 
- So if either of those 2 checks fail '''(!SSL or !correct domain)''' than the (403) ErrorDocument directive issues a 302 Found, Location: https://google.com which forces the client to connect to the correct location.
