It would be nicer to redirect them to where they need to go, something
like:

<Directory "/svr/www/htdocs/panel">
        RewriteEngine on
        Options +FollowSymLinks
        Order allow, deny
        Allow from all
        RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
        RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
</Directory>

I believe that's what Brian Boitano would do - less chance of support
queries re. "my web panel doesn't work".

Cheers,

Alex.
