The problem is deeper than that Jeff as I asked the same question some time
ago having tried an htaccess suggestion which would have been ideal but
didn't work.  If you have one page or a directory in a site that you want to
force https I don't see how a refresh is going to do it unless you use the
php option in your code which is ok if you allow all your customers php.I
suppose you could refresh to a subdomain but even then it is possible to get
linked externally to the same page through http which I what I want to avoid
as I suspect others do as well.
