Redirecting all HTTP traffic to HTTPS that will reverse proxy specific URI

-- Requirement --

I have a Sun web server 6.1 SP4 that sits in a DMZ that must securely reverse proxy traffic to an internal application server listening on 443.

The web server instance has two listen sockets, 80 and 443.

The web server instance must accept traffic on port 80 but re-direct it to 443 so all subsequent traffic with the client happens over HTTPS.

HTTPS traffic for "www.mydomain.com/myapp/" must be reverse proxied to the internal app server, "https://myapp.mydomain.com/myapp/".

-- Current set-up --

The server reverse proxies both HTTP and HTTPS traffic with the indicated URI.

How can I constrain the reverse proxying to HTTPS traffic?

Thanks for your help,

Jez
