Hmmm .. What if you don't set up an ErrorDocument, since it will never reach
the client unless the client sends an invalid password three times. Though
this triggered me think a certain way. When you're able to run your scripts
in mod_perl environment you can define a custom 'Handler', which is usually
a perl class. This handler might know about the status code from where you
can redirect to the https environment. And if not, just fire a subrequest.

Unfortunately I have no examples of this ..
