No - it's the other way round. The SSL session encapsulates the HTTP
session. So all the SSL negotiation takes place *before* any HTTP
traffic is sent. The browser flashes the warning during the SSL start-up
when the cert it gets back from the server doesn't have a trusted
authority.

There is no way to do what the OP wants.
