Remember that SSL isn't something the user switches on by accident -
they have to choose SSL by using "https" instead of "http" in the
browser. You want an SSL server which also serves HTTP. That is fairly
easy - simply make two identical virtual hosts, one on port 443, the
other on port 80:

<VirtualHost my.site.com:443>
...contents
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost my.site.com:80>
...contents
</VirtualHost>

This will respond with identical content to https or http.
