Here are 2 ways to do it without resorting to fopen.. Only applies if 
your https is on the same server. The first is cleaner than the second, 
but neither are guaranteed to work. Use at your own risk.

function check_https() {
        ob_start();
        phpinfo(INFO_GENERAL);
        $phpinfo = ob_get_contents();
        ob_end_clean();
        $s=strpos($phpinfo,'Registered PHP Streams');
        $e=strpos($phpinfo,"\n",$s);
        if (strstr(substr($phpinfo,$s,$e-$s),'https')) {
                return TRUE;
        }
        else {
                return FALSE;
        }
}

function check_https2() {
        ob_start();
        phpinfo(INFO_GENERAL);
        $test=strstr(ob_get_contents(),'https');
        ob_end_clean();
        if ($test) { return TRUE;}
        else {return FALSE;}
}
