I haven't worked much with HTTPS yet, but in the past had problems
where accessing a web directory (without a trailing slash) with a
hostname alias would redirect to the "primary" hostname, which I
didn't want. The culprit was this Apache directive:

UseCanonicalName On

I just had to set it to Off (which is the default in recent releases
anyway). Perhaps that would help you also.
