I know on IIS it is possible to disallow access to a particular
subdirectory in a site unless it is being accessed by SSL.  You could
make the CC payment page one that exists in a subdirectory with such
blockage enabled.

This doesn't actually answer your question, but provides an alternative
means to go about requiring the page be accessed via SSL.
