Scenario:

The user buys products and finally decides to check out. I want the checkout page to be in SSL as users confidential information would be used. After checkout i want to redirect the user to the home page.

So ...upto the point of checkout its HTTP
checkout in HTTPS
after checkout back to HTTP

How to achieve this in Portal.

Please advice the best approach to solve this scenario.
