Description

If a plain HTTP request is sent on port 980 the current Apache reponse is


Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand
Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port
Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.
Hint: https://servername/

The link does not provide correct informations to reach the Server Manager:

the port is missing
probably the server name is not resolved by DNS

Use Apache ErrorDocument directive to provide the right informations.

Test case

If the wrong http:// protocol is typed, the error page redirects to https:// after some seconds.
If automatic redirect does not work, a direct link is available as last resort.
The IP address used to build the target link must be consistent with the original client request.
