login with ajax,Django, Secure Login with Ajax from Http page

I log in users from a Http page via ajax. I'm making the request to a secure (https) page. My issue is that I'm not receiving a response because (I assume) my view function is returning an HttpResponse object to the https page (my user is still at http).

Here is the code

@secure_required

def login_async(request):

if request.method=='POST':

email=request.POST.get('email', '')

try:

user=User.objects.get(email__exact=email)

username=user.username

except User.DoesNotExist:

username=''

password=request.POST.get('password', '')

user=auth.authenticate(username=username, password=password)

if user is not None:

auth.login(request,user)

user_status=1

user_fname=user.first_name

user_data=[{'user_status':user_status, 'user_fname':user_fname,'user_favorite':user_favorite,'flag_record':flag_record, 'message_sent':message_sent,'is_post_owner':is_post_owner}]

json_data=json.dumps(user_data)

response=HttpResponse()

response['Content-Type']="text/javascript"

response.write(json_data)

return response

else:

user_data=[{'user_status':user_status}]

json_data=json.dumps(user_data)

response=HttpResponse()

response['Content-Type']="text/javascript"

response.write(json_data)

return response

else:

user_data=[{'user_status':"0"}]

json_data=json.dumps(user_data)

response=HttpResponse()

response['Content-Type']="text/javascript"

response.write(json_data)

return response

Why not just make the whole page https, you ask? Good question. I was having some issues with making the Tweet Button https compatible.

Thanks
