That does not achieve the goal.

1) It would be really nice to respond UNDER the question, to make the thread
readable. (No offense.)

2) The auto redirect IS possible:
There are two virtual host definitions, one for the port 80 (unsecure) and one
for the port 443 (secure). In the virtual host :80 you could use something
like:
Redirect /michel https://www.domain.com/michel
In the virtual host :443 you might want to put a few redirect rules to switch
back to the :80 virtual host. There is a detailed example earlier on this list
(april-may).

Here is an example for a signup script:
RedirectMatch ^/(signup.pl.*)           https://www.domain.com/$1
that line redirects the signup.pl script to the secure site, while passing all
the info to it.
So if the user does:
http://www.domain.com/signup.pl?name=Joe
It becomes:
https://www.domain.com/signup.pl?name=Joe
