Response.Redirect to a https page

I have a question about Resonse.Redirect to an https page.

For the line

response.redirect("https://thiswebsite.com/thispage.aspx")

Does this start a new session? Will I loose my Sessions objects? If so, is there another way do a redirect to an ssl secured page and NOT loose my session object?

Thanks

if it is on the same server you are commended to use

[code]
Server.Transfer("https://thiswebsite.com/thispage.aspx")
[/Highlight]

not sure if u'll use ur session object tho (new to asp.net)
