This is a good suggestion and probably the most practical way to do it...

Personally I would not want to allow port 80 traffic to touch the CAG at
all, so here's what I'd do:
1. on your firewall, lock it down to only allow ssl (443) traffic to
the CAG
2. on your firewall, set up a port forward to take port 80 traffic
destined to your CAG server and redirect it to another web-server
3. configure a new site on your web-server to take the port 80 traffic
4. make sure you set up the host header to point to your WI server (ie.
cag.mycompany.com for example as this will be the dns presented to the
server)
5. create a redirect file on your site:
a. Ie., in ASP you would create a file called default.asp containing
the following code and put it in your default web-folder
<% response.direct("https://cag.mycompany.com";) %>

I looked around to see if the CAG could do this and couldn't come up with
it. My only idea was do a redirect on one of my internal webservers.
Obviously not a solution for everyone.

I'm dealing with that same issue right now. I found that for $12 per year
network solutions will redirect this for us although it seems crazy to have
to pay someone. Our DNS is hosted with network solutions so I don't know if
that would work for you.
If you find a answer please let me know.

Does anyone know of a way to allow the end user to hit a port 80 HTTP page
on the CAG and have it redirect to the port 443 HTTP page??
