httpd 2.x utilizes PCRE, so it's quite like perl (which doesn't know the
POSIX classes). More interesting for your case: RedirectMatch works (like
mod_rewrite) with the URL path only, so you need to use some other logic.

You could either use mod_rewrite to check if SSL is available, or, if
you want to avoid it, put the RedirectMatch into the HTTP VirtualHost only.

Side note: Try to avoid <IfModule> containers. They just hide useful errors
if the module is not loaded.

No.
