If I understand what you are saying, the protocol is not changing from https to http after
performing the redirect. This behavior is correct in that RedirectFromLoginPage uses the current
protocol. If the current protocol is https the page being redirected to will be https, not http.

If you want to change the protocol from https to http, or vice versa, then you would have to use
Response.Redirect instead.
