Ron,

One way to find out is in a usertag:

UserTag is_secure Routine <<EOR
sub {
return $CGI::secure;
}
EOR

(I believe the value will be either "on" or "" )

There maybe other ways, but I had need in a usertag
at one point (back in mv days I think) and found
  $CGI::secure in the source , so used it myself :-)
