Is there a way to have a Google Sites hosted as say, sites.example.com/foo
rather than sites.google.com/a/example.com/foo
while supporting HTTPS? It seems to me that only HTTP redirect and no SSL support is available.
Anybody to confirm?

sites.google.com/*
address.ghs.googlehosted.com
In your Admin Console, under Company Profile, Select "Custom URL's"
Make changes as you see fit.
Yes, it will say http://sites.example.com (or whatever you decide)
If you also have "Enable SSL" set in Security | Basic Settings, then users will be taken to the HTTPS: site pages (others too). Yes, this is a redirect, but you still tell others, and create links to, sites.example.com/foo and it IS HTTPS:
Let us know.
Enable SSL "Automatically enforce Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections when your users access Gmail, Calendar, Docs, and Sites."
It seems to be possible to redirect https by Google Domains:
