It would be pretty easy to put something like this on the initial
page:

[if variable UI_SECURE]
[perl]
	$Config->{VendURL} = $Config->{SecureURL};
	$Session->{Autoload} = <<'EOF';
    [calc]
    $Config->{VendURL} = $Config->{SecureURL};
    return;
    [/calc]
EOF
[/perl]
[/if]

At that point, the user will get secure for all accesses.
