Personally, I've found it easier (if using Apache for example)
to use a modrewrite rule.  I use this on my sites using
UserAuth (not the builtin AuthUser) to make sure it goes
https when the login page is used.

So... once your website is setup to serve pages via
ssl (could be the whole site), just do a modrewrite.

For example for UserAuth my .htaccess has:

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LoginPage$
https://%{SERVER_NAME}/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LoginPage [R,L]

Obviously this is for $EnablePathInfo = 1
That second rule is on one line (one rule)
