When clients attempt to access your secure_vs, you don’t want them to have to remember to type HTTPS before the web site, but you also don’t want to open port 80 (HTTP) on your web servers as that is just asking for trouble. To avoid this issue, you will be creating an HTTP virtual server that will redirect HTTP to HTTPS and the secure_vs official website
