asp.net and vb being off-topic here,
I will try to answer about classic asp:

I do not think that is possible under asp.

However is there any need for that,
as you could limit the pages for SSL use,
or reserve an url or subdomain especially for SSL?

Classic ASP has the Secure property for cookies

Response.Cookies("mycookie") = "test"
Response.Cookies("mycookie").Secure = True

This should set a cookie and tell the browser to only return it to the web
server when the connection is over HTTPS.
