thanks for the replies ,  i have tried your suggestion
the line in httpd.conf  now reads
 listen on $ext_addr port 80 block return 301
"https://$HTTP_HOST$REQUEST_URI"
i now get the following in firefox

The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this
address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies.
