Server.transfer and ssl

[Gigino]

I'm developing an asp.net application and i need to execute an aspx
page using Secure Socket Layer; the problem is:
i call the page web form http://server/page1.aspx; when i submit this
form, i wanted to use the server.transfer to go to
httpS://server/page2.aspx with ssl, but the Transfer method doesn't
allow absolute path. Is there a way to do something like that or need
i to call with https all my pages?
thank you for any help
Pietro

Why not just have the user start at https://server/page1.aspx?

What data are you trying to protect? There's no point in doing a
Server.Transfer if the user has already uploaded their sensitive data to the
plain HTTP site. Use a Response.redirect instead, or make the post go to
the SSL page directly.
