Came across this JavaScript:
  <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
      var loc = document.location.toString();
      var index = loc.indexOf(":");
      var url = loc.substring(index,loc.length);
      if (index == "4") { 
         secureUrl = "https" + url;
         location.replace(secureUrl); // get rid of current page in
history
         location.href = secureUrl;
      }
   </script>

I haven't tested it.

Found some other pages in a Google search as well for PHP but
www.phpbuilder.com doesn't seem to be working.

The other thought, although I haven't worked with the secure
httpsd.conf, if it's separate from the httpd.conf file, use a Redirect
in the httpd.conf file.

Redirect /whatever/ https://www.domain.com/whatever/
Redirect /dir/file.html https://www.domain.com/dir/file.html
