You can already guess why I want this: it be a nice option to be able to fix websites/webapps with lots of hardcoded URLs to http://mydomain.com so that they always get redirected to the secure version. Not a very nice solution - I know.

you can do that with "prefix" :

  redirect prefix https://mydomain.com

It will concatenate that prefix with the URI from the request and put that in the location header. We also use it for http<->https redirects :-)
