Thanks for pointing to this article. I am not sure if this will help me.

Let me explain my issue using a fictitiuos web site called "cakewalk.com".

The secure site is https://intranet.cakewalk.com. But I need to provide an
"http" version i.e. http://intranet.cakewalk.com that the users can set as
their default home page (without having to autheticate the user). The only
link on this page will be https://intranet.cakewalk.com. On clicking this
link the Windows authetication dialog box will be displayed.

The primary reason for doing this "dead" http page is that if the users set
https://intranet.cakewalk.com as their default home page then the first
thing that they will be shown on launching the browser would be the Windows
authetication dialog box. The purpose of this "dead" page is to avoid
presenting the Windows dialog box until the user clicks on the "https" link.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
