From a high-level, your design should start with the HTTP-served index.html

HTTPS-served iFrame-embedded page(s). There are details that will be
specific to your implementation, like protocol restrictions on index
(HTTP-only) and index2 (HTTPS-only) files, and so forth that I won't go
into. But for the sake of old-school simplicity, that's the model I
recommend and use.

So what happens if someone MiTMs the redirect>? If Telnet is no longer 
acceptable, why is HTTP?
