SSL on return path only

[jackvull]

Is ther a way to serve up a page via normal HTTP and then when the user does something on the page to authenticate themselves, it returns this as SSL (https).
Maybe through the action element of the form?

I believe if you set the action to the full https URL of the program you wish to run, the form data is encrypted before being sent and the user is sent to a secure page.

If you are requesting private information (password/credit card etc...), even though the form should be submitted securely, many users will not enter their details on the form - as the browser will show the page is not secure (even if the form transmits securely and the result page is sent back securely).
