SSL only

I created a site and then added a certificate for SSL. I changed the URL to be https. All this is working however when a person doesn't specify https:// they default to http:// and are asked to authenticate. This first authenticaion is done over port 80 IE not encrypted. They are then directed to the 443 and everything from then on is fine.

Any ideas on how I can redirect them to 443 first and THEN prompt for credentials?

FireFox users actually get two prompts, one for each address (80 and then 443)
