We have both a live and test version of our Joomla site running. The non-SSL version of each work fine. Our problem was that, until today, when you surfed to https://test.mysite.com it would send you to https://www.mysite.com.

To fix this, our IT guy used port 8080 saying the SSL version of the test site has to be on a different port than 80 (used for live HTTP and test HTTP) or 443 (used for live SSL).

Now, however when you surf to https://test.mysite.ccom:8080/ you just get a 400 Bad Request Error.

"<p>Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<br />
Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.<br />
Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.<br />"

https://www.mysite.com remains fine (as does the non-SSL version of each site)

The IT guy claims this is Joomla's problem (i.e. my problem).

Can anyone shed some light on how to fix this?

It would seem that whatever redirection you are using in the site .htaccess or other is not working properly.
If you are calling a subdomain of the site the port should be unaffected. I assume that would be the same with the https/SSL sites.
If you do not have specific redirect entries in an .htaccess then you might like to try that.
Read the pages at http://docs.joomla.org/index.php?title= ... =ssl&go=Go for an insight and check out php.net too
