I did the same, but only for certain

I use the following directives to always redirect http trafiic to a
given URL to https traffic:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog logs/rewrite_log
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule "^(/svn/.*)" "https://%{HTTP_HOST}$1" [R,L]

I believe if you tweak the regular expression in RewriteRule, you can
forward the evry URL to https.

Ivan
