The other way might be to force all the pages from which you are comming to
the central folder to https.
you can try calling an image on image onload and check if it is going to
https.if it is not going to https then you can force it to go to the error
page.
here in the example below
it tries to call the image call1.gif.if it is sucessfully able to call the
image in https then it calls the function actpage();
else
it calls msgpage and redirects it to access denied page.
You can actually have a branch action calling this particular taf file
<html>
<head>
<script Language=JavaScript>
<!--
function actpage()
{
top.location.href =
"https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/welcometocentralfileserver.taf?userReference=<@USERR
EFERENCE>";
}
function msgpage()
{
top.location.href =
"http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/accessdenied.taf?userReference=<@USERREFERENCE>";
}
</script>
<title>Testing Browser for 128bit cipher strength</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<p><img src="https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/gif/call1.gif"; WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=1
onLoad="actpage();" onError="msgpage();"><br></p>
</body>
</html>
hope this helps!
cheers

It's not very secure, but you could check <@CGIPARAM SERVER_PORT> to see
if it's 443.
It's probably safer to configure your webserver not to serve files out of
the directory. You can probably set up your webserver to redirect HTTP
requests to HTTPS for specific directories.
