I've tried both 279681 & 239875. Regarding the former, I
get a 403 error after I set the custom 403.4 error path
to /forceSSL.asp (w/ 239875 code instead of exchange
code). Regarding the latter, I've tried putting the
include code in dummy files and in the 403.4 html file,
both to no avail. The dummy or 403.4 pages come up fine,
but there's no redirection to https.

forceSSL.asp file with 239875 code is located in web
root. Also placed forceSSL.inc file in web root in
accordance with instructions, but experienced errors as
described above.

Don't want to do a static redirect, as I have multiple
secured pages that point to different sites on the
server. Also can't figure out how to statically redirect
the default SharePoint Services 2003 page anyway.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.
