There's no need to redirect to a different index.html page, just
redirect from http->https. Make all your embedded urls in the form of
"//foo.bar/a/b/c.html" instead of "http[s]://foo.bar/a/b/c.html"

From a high-level, your design should start with the HTTP-served index.html page that redirects to an HTTPS-served 
index2.html that calls the remote HTTPS-served iFrame-embedded page(s). There are details that will be specific to 
your implementation, like protocol restrictions on index (HTTP-only) and index2 (HTTPS-only) files, and so forth that 
I won't go into. But for the sake of old-school simplicity, that's the model I recommend and use.
