Hi,

De3finitely not. man hosts to see the syntax and meaning of the
/etc/hosts file.

> any advice on how to do this?

I am not sure what you want to do. You want to install a web server
that only serves https? then you configure your web server to only
serve https, in Apache configuration you would only have a 
<VirtualHost: permail.uni-muenster.de:443>
and none with port 80.

Best regards,

Olivier
