Other than

Answer 1

You can use HttpContext.Current.Request.IsSecureConnection

Answer 2

I use this code to auto redirect to https

If HttpContext.Current.Request.IsSecureConnection.Equals(False) Then
    Response.Redirect("https://" + Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST") & HttpContext.Current.Request.RawUrl)
End If

Answer 3

The direct answer to your request for something like System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Protocol.ToString() is System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Scheme, though as Brandon says, in his answerHttpContext.Current.Request.IsSecureConnection is the way to detect use of https as a boolean and likely more appropriate to the problem you give in your question.
