I have a non-encrypted service running separate to apache on 8080. I'd like to hide it and redirect all traffic to it via SSL.

I have successfully setup proxy/reverse proxy so all requests to example.com go to port 8080.

However, I can still directly access the service if I go to example.com:8080. And it goes via http, not https. I can't block that with the firewall, since the service includes some of the links in the form www.example.com:8080. I have tried adding a virtualhost on :8080 and listen on 8080 but that doesn't work (and also breaks the proxy on *:443).

Could anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?
All services run on the same ip address.

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias example.com Redirect permanent / www.example.com/ </VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName example.com:8080
ServerAlias example.com:8080 Redirect permanent / www.swapsk.in:443/ </VirtualHost>

NameVirtualHost *:443
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html

SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /root/cert.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /root/key.key
