[Zope] apache ssl management pages

[Jesse Goerz]

I recently got ssl working on my system and wanted to use ssl for the
management pages of zope.  I'm using apache + zope + vhm.  

I'd like to be able to type the normal http url and if a management
screen is viewed have it "redirect" (is that the right term) everything
through secure pages.  Everything is working now but I have to actually
type https://... (oh, the agony) rather than just http://...  In other
words, I'd rather just type .../manage at the end and just log in and
start working.  Currently, that isn't happening, I have to manually type
in the https or it doesn't get encrypted.


Here's the httpd.conf (mind the word wrap):
