force apache auth over ssl

[msalerno]

[/code]What is happening with the below config is that the user is prompted to log in prior to the redirect. Which is not good. As a workaround, I have forced the entire site to be redirected to https, but that's a little bit of an overkill. The question is, how can I force the redirect to happen before the auth request and keep all configs specific to /svn in the same file: /etc/apache2/modules.d/47_mod_dav_svn.conf ?

This blog entry describes the situation nicely and seems to provide the fix:

Read the whole post including the links for lots of information on this.

Hint: I suspect the poster who suggests moving the redirect outside of the directory stanza is correct.
