For HTTPS redirections to work, you need a valid certificate for each
domain you want to be redirected. It would be a huge security hole, so you
cannot do a beautiful HTTPS redirect.

If you don't mind that the user gets a security warning in his browser, you
can use --redirssl with its --ssl* config options to allow CoovaChilli to
listen to HTTPS requests. Chilli does not do this by default. You will need
a (self signed) certificate.

HTH.
