I'm no expert, but thought of redirecting all http (port 80) to https (port 443)?
Using the redirect (and or redirectmatch) directive(s),
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect

Something like,

Redirect / https://www.yousite.com/

>Hello, list . . .
>
>I've got a website that uses Apache, mod_ssl and HTTP authentication.
>Apache only listens on one port, and the only protocol I want to support
>on it is HTTPS.  This is almost working okay: Apache won't serve up any
>pages if the client is using ordinary HTTP.  It just gives a "Bad Request"
>response.
>
>However, because I'm using HTTP authentication, Apache still
>challenges the browser even if it's trying to use HTTP, which means that
>if someone mistypes the URL (typing http://host:port/ instead of
>https://host:port/), the password will be sent over the internet without
>encryption.  Granted, Apache won't actually serve up any PAGES once
>the user's authenticated over HTTP (it'll just throw the "Bad Request"
>message), but I'd rather that the passwords couldn't be sent that way
>at all.
>
>Is there any way to get Apache to completely disregard any regular HTTP
>traffic?  I'm running Apache 1.3.24 and mod_ssl 2.8.8.
>
>Thanks much in advance, and apologies for the badly-worded request.  My
>communication skills seem to be severely malfunctioning this morning.  :)
