Hi, Boyle, 

   I have a related question.  We'd like to implement
a SSL-Login on a HTTP(port 80) webServer to secure the
userId/password.  This means, whenever a site needs
the authentication, the webServer redirects it to
HTTPS server for processing.  However, this is pretty
annoying since it prompts security alerts such as "...
from none secure site to a secure site ..." or "...
from secure site to a none secure site ...", etc. 
Notice the new feature of Apach 2.2.x, the new
function added in mod_ssl to support RFC 2817, which
allows connections to upgrade from clear text to TLS
encryption.  Can this new feature fulfill our requests
to convert HTTP to HTTPS in a single Apache webServer?
 Will we still get the security alerts?  

Many Thanks, Q.Xie
