A method we use to redirect to https is to leave the default Zend Framework .htaccess settings and create an action helper to redirect to https when required. Our action helper code is:

getActionController()->getHelper('Redirector');
            $redirector->goToUrlAndExit('https://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
        }
    }
}

Then when you are in a controller action that you need to be accessed via HTTPS you simply call this function at the beginning:

$this->_helper->requireSSL();

Also, here is another method for using action helpers that is a little more detailed if you need it:
