Not sure why you would want to have HTTPS listen on 80. You certainely can
have a server listening only to HTTPS traffic (shut down HTTP server). The
problem (I think) is that the web browsers internally go into 443 for HTTPS
traffic. It's just the default port. I guess you can try saying something
like:
https://secure.server.com:80/
I think that putting the port there will overwrite the default 443 but I
haven't tried it.
