You'll have to run another virtual server on another
port. Then redirect to your https server. You can't
run http/https on the same port. Suggest 8080 as http
and 8443 as https. Then ...

RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog "logs/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 0
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://xxxx:8443/$1 [R=301,L]
