No, it's not possible due to the limitation of the architecture. A port can serve only http or https but not both at the same time.
The transparency of http/https in normal websites is due to the standardization of port 80 and 443. (port 80 runs http, and port 443 runs https, so each port only runs one type of connection) When you don't use these standard ports, you will need to specify the correct combination of protocol and port in order to reach a service. --Mizst On Sun, May 8, 2011 at 12:33 PM, Altaf Mahmud <altaf.mah...@gmail.com>wrote: > Is it possible to use port 8080 for both purposes (HTTP and HTTPS)? > Actually, I just wanted to secure port 8080, can I do that? > > Thanks a lot! > > > On Sat, May 7, 2011 at 8:34 PM, Mizst Audens <mizs...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> You must create another virtual host at another port (for example, 8081) >> for the staff area and enable SSL for that virtual host, and it will require >> another SSL certificate.
