You're running Tomcat, not TomCat.

Read section 12 of the servlet spec (JSR-000154).  Only protected resources 
with a <transport-guarantee> of CONFIDENTIAL or better will be automatically 
redirected to the SSL port.  Note that the world's most popular and 
standards-ignoring browser (IE) frequently mishandles SSL on any port other 
than 443.

(That's server.xml; precision counts.)

You can do that, but browsers would show an error when attempting a normal 
connection.  You could write a simple filter or valve that just redirects HTTP 
requests to HTTPS on the desired port.
