In case you want to redirect your clients to SSL, you would follow your initial approach of using the HTTP::redirect. The term 'forward' is not matching here. Indeed the client will get a notification (302/301 'redirect') via location header to connect to the specified URL. The client will open a new connection to a different port. Kevin´s solution is providing a transparent pool selection instead.
Assigning aHTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
is a common solution on a :80 virtual server to force a client to use SSL.
