Author Redirecting from http to http pops up a login box

Hi,

I am trying to secure a credit card page. I redirect to the credit
card page from the url:
http://mipdev05/features/myshops/Ms...1ca48c&P=1&VT=G
to the url:
https://mipdev05/features/myshops/M...1ca48c&P=1&VT=G

It pops up a logon dialog box for the https, Site:mipdev05
Realm:mipdev05.

The redirect occurs in asp.net (c#). It is simply a
Response.Redirect. I am already logged into the http: site and wish
to use the same credentials to log into the https site without it
popping up the login box.

I have used Server.Transfer, but I am unconvinced that it is using
https.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tony

It won't happen, as far as the browser cares you're accessing a different
resource, even though it's the same server it's going over a different
protocol so you have to login again. Once you login to the site over both
protocols you can switch back and forth.

So how do all the other sites do it? Do they write code to log from
http to https or something? It seems a bit ridiculous to require
someone to log in to the same site twice...
