I found out the specific cause of my problem and now I am looking at solutions. The easiest is to take apache out of the equation and have tomcat handle the ssl. I am on a hosted shared server and I think the reason apache is handling the ssl is to take the computational load of encryption off of the shared server so I am pretty much stuck in my present situation.
I think the solution that I can implement is modifying the HttpConnector to recoignise the difference b/t a request that has come through apache and been decrypted from a straight browser request to the http port. Has anyone made these modifications to the HttpConnector? or is there perhaps some built in functionality in the HttpConnector that might allow me to do this without have to extend or modify it?

I have it working on my development machine. The problem is when I move the code over to the stagging server it does not work. My stagging server differs from my dev machine in that port forwarding is taking place. Specifically http and https ports for my virtual host are being forwarded to tomcat. Now what I would expect in this case is that all I would need to change would be the redirectPort attribute value of the Http Connector such that it forwards to 443 which the port forwarding would then forward to the tomcat specific https port. I have tried that but without success. Has anyone else had this problem and had any luck getting it to work under these conditions. Thank you for any advice, MG ____________________________________________________________________________________ Now that's room service!
