If you are using a programming language, like PHP (which I use and love!),
you can set it up to detect whether it is port 80 or 443 and redirect as
necessary, avoiding the error message.
I have it set up so that if they view a page on port 80 that I want to be
viewed secure, it automatically redirects them to the same page on port 443.
Works nicely, and is transparent to the user. I do the oposite for the rest
of the site, so they don't surf the entire site on port 443 (more resource
intensive, slower).
