collate session info, place into file (csv, xml or something), save into a
directory not web accessable but available to the http and https domains,
and response.redirect to the secure page with a query string displaying the
name of the generated page.

the secure page opens this up xml file and populates the values on its side
accordingly.

alternatively generate the form details and use javascript to submit.
