HTTP Redirect

Hello All,
I have searched for countless hours and am unable to find what I am trying to do. I am wanting to make all HTTP traffic get redirected to HTTPS. I have looked at DNAT, SNAT, etc and nothing I have tired seems to be working.

Scenario:
User browses to http://www.weather.com and i want that webpage to be changed to https://www.weather.com without the user remembering to put https to get the secure website.

I am looking to go this path so I can block all HTTP traffic and just allow HTTPS since websites will automatically be converted over to HTTPS without user intervention.

Everything I have read says you need a webserver to do this and I am having a hard time believing there is no way to say "port 80 change to port 443".

Bob,

I knew about the additional address trick but I did not know you could protect your own external servers using the UTM and WAF. Learn something new everyday. [:)]

Still, I think trying to transparently redirect all outgoing http traffic to https for domains outside the UTM and outside your control (i.e. Google, Y!, MSN, etc) isn't doable in the UTM at present, it has to be done by the webserver.
