I haven't done this myself on a web server, so I don't know how to configure the web server to do it, but I know, from the client's perspective, that Paypal's web server does it by returning a "Location" header to the client browser with the https URL, which causes the client browser to issue another request using that URL. This can be seen with a "wget" command specifying -S to show the headers. Maybe I'm telling you something you already know.
