How to force Spring MVC controllers use SSL with Spring security?

I am having problems forcing SSL for Spring MVC REST resources. I don't need authentication since it is handled via the security token passed in HTTP header, all I need is to disallow using http. Since I am already using Spring security in other parts of my project I would rather continue using it instead of configuring SSL in the web server. When I am trying to connect to a resource I am getting "error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol" which I assume means that the server is trying to respond not via SSL.

rest controller

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/mongoose")
public class HarmonyRestController {
    private final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(getClass());

    public HarmonyRestController() {
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = "policies", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = "application/json")
    public
    @ResponseBody
    String requestPolicies()  {
        return "test...";
    }
}

I also tried to use port redirect in security config like

 <security:http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true">/
   <security:intercept-url pattern="/**" requires-channel="https" security="none"/>
    <security:port-mappings>
        <security:port-mapping http="8080" https="8443" />
    </security:port-mappings> 
  </security:http>    

and bind Jetty to 8443 but it did not help. Every time I am trying to connect to /mongoose/policies resource via https I am getting curl: (35) error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol

Perhaps my problem has something to do with isSecure property of the servlet Spring MVC is using is set to false?
