I'm not sure I completely understand.. When you say, "causes a switch to HTTP", I assume you mean that after you submit the form, the browser address window changes to "http" (typically, this would be the acknowledgement page). If so, then the browser must be getting a redirect that tells it to do this.
If not, can you explain in more detail exactly what happens at this point.
