This is a bit of a newbie question --- But can one have named virtual hosts on port 80 but still run SSL on the same server by not having any named virtual hosts on port 443 ?

(repost, aparently some keypresses are interpreted by gmail as hotkey
and caused a prematures send)

Probably https requests are not processed by te virtual server you
described above. Have a look at the ssl config. Also it is not
possible to have namevirtual hosts under ssl, so all ssl requests will
go to the same virtual host (probably the first)

a command that might give you some hints as to what gets processed by
which part of the config is:
httpd -S -DSSL

You could do what you are trying above with a rewrite. This would save
you having to add virtual hosts for every app.

For example:

RewriteCond         %{HTTP_HOST}           ^(dev|test|prod)\.(.*)\.domain$
RewriteRule          (.*)                            
https://%1web.domain/%2/$1 [R,L]

(Disclaimer: This is of the top of my head, I haven't tested it.)
