A few thoughts:
(1) There is no (stated) requirement that the non-secure web service
be listening on port 80. There is no (stated) requirement that the
secure web service be listening on port 443. Perhaps you could
simplify things by not worrying about traditional port numbers for
HTTP and HTTPS.
Yeah. It took me a while to remember that http protocol can run on any
practically any non-reserved port.
Of course browsers expect port 80 so I added a rule in my iptables config
-A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8443
You can also use JSVC which will allow you to bind to reserved ports.
There are some other advantages to JSVC as well. For example, in some
cases, if the JVM fails, it can perform a re-start.
which I think should work. I guess netcat will help me test that theory.
