[ale] secure/non-secure connections to Apache

You do need to configure a virtual server and run it on port 443.  You can 
point the document root to the same as your server on port 80 and give it 
all the same configuration directives.  This will give you a site that 
works as both http and https.

Here is a sample:

<VirtualHost	10.1.1.1:443>
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown 
downgrade-1.0 \
force-response-1.0
ServerName	site.com
ServerAlias	www.site.com
DocumentRoot	/www/site.com/html/
TransferLog	/logs/access_log
ErrorLog	/logs/error_log
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
ScriptAlias	/cgi-bin/ /www.site.com/cgi-bin/
SSLEngine	on
XBitHack	on

SSLCertificateFile    /www/ssl.crt/site.com.crt 
SSLCertificateKeyFile /www/ssl.key/site.com.key 

</VirtualHost>
