The code above won't always work because if the request is a post
request, the post data will not get passed to the https url.  I think
the http spec says it is supposed to, but in reality the POST data is
not sent to the redirected location.  Maybe the thing to do is throw a
404 if post data is sent to a script that requires ssl.

I would also use a 301 redirect in this case.
