<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName xyz
    ServerAlias abc

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule "^/?(.*)" "https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1" [L,R=308,QSA]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:81>
    ServerName xyz
    ServerAlias abc

    ...
</VirtualHost>

308 Permanent tells the browser to maintain whatever HTTP method it was using over http:// so that we can concentrate all intelligence in the HTTPS side, and make the *:80 side a generic redirect. Implemented and deployed in stage, will ship to prod with other changes.

Resolution: --- → FIXED
Apache can't load 308 reliably, reduced to R=307 (temp) instead. HSTS will take care of it.
