Standard domain forwarding does not forward https connections

IDFarm

New Pleskian
Hi there,

I have researched this issue but couldn't find a satisfying answer.
The following thread/FAQ topic is what I found, but neither gives a proper solution:
http://kb.odin.com/en/119558
http://talk.plesk.com/threads/standard-forward-doesnt-redirect-https.84684/

We are running Plesk 12 on a Linux VPS where we have multiple domains running.
Multiple of these domains should redirect from www.domainname.ext to https://ext.domainname.com.
This is configured with the Domain forwarding in Plesk, with hosting type Forwarding.
But as described in the 2 links provided above, whenever you go to https://www.domain.ext, it does not redirect, and actually shows a Security error, since the domain doesn't have the SSL-certificate installed (because it should redirect to the https://ext.domainname.com).

Clearly we don't want visitors on the website to receive the (incorrect) Security error, and we want all traffic to http(s)://www.domain.ext to be redirected to the appropriate subdomains.

Hopefully there is a solution which allows us to redirect both the https/http connections to the domains, without forcing us to have the domains have a Website hosting and redirect them manually with (for example) .htaccess.

If anyone knows a solution to this, I would love to hear it.

Thanks in advance

I have no idea if bumping is allowed, but I'm just gonna bump this :)
Hopefully someone has an idea how to solve/configure this so it can be set up as described above.
