I may be reading the requester wrong, but, my impression of his question is:
someone access' the server via http, and then they wish to reaccess the server via https, add the sockets layer once they have already connected in a 'normal' http session. And this is only slightly different then how others have already interpreted and answered the question. Yes this can be done, you could put a tag on your main server page that allows the user to 'reconnect' with https rather then plain old vanilla http. I leave the tagging issues for the user to figure out, well, not really: <A HREF="https//www.someserver.com"><IMG SRC="http://www.someserver.com/image/someimage.jpg"; WIDTH=84 HEIGHT=29 BORDER=0 ALT="secure ssl connection"></a> <wrapped href tag above> Perhaps this is what the requestor is asking about, perhaps the previous list readers answered the question in simpler terms.
