http request sent to https port

[Nishant Deshpande <ni...@gmail.com>]

I have https enabled on port 80.

If i request 'http://localhost/', it comes back with some errenous
http reply which my browser can't interpret (nor can wget).

On other web sites, I see that my http request gets redirected to
https, but seemingly on the same port.

Anyone know how this is done? i.e. am I being redirected to a
different port but its 'hidden' (i can redirect but can't hide the
port), or being redirected to the same port but for https (this i
don't know how to do..)

i.e. to clarify:

i type in 'http://somewebsite/login'
and i go to 'https://somewebsite/login'
