Require Ssl before Asking for htaccess Password!

This code redirects http://secure.example.com/login.php to https://secure.example.com/login.php BEFORE it prompts you for your htaccess password.

This is if the htaccess file is in the / folder where login.php resides.

What is happening is that when a user makes a non-SSL encrypted request in the / folder, the SSLRequireSSL directive issues a 403 Error back, then the ErrorDocument redirects to the https page and THEN the htaccess password prompt appears.

This gets rid of the double-login double prompts for htaccess passwords that occur when the domain is different.
