how to set https for naked domain?

I have been using openshift for quite some time. Since letsencrypt is in beta, I thought I gave it a try.
My current setup:
www.digrin.com is an alias to my openshift url - digrin-digrincom.rhcloud.com
digrin.com A tag points to wwwizer redirect service 174.129.25.170.
I have uploaded ssl certificates to openshift. It works fine on domain www.digrin.com. However since naked domain digrin.com points to wwwizer.com, it does not use https. I believe it is a problem. I want both domains (naked as well as www variant) to use https. Is it possible? I know wwwizer has some premium plan where it might be possible, but I would like a free version if possible.
If you don't know, I can not set cname for naked domain, so I had to use A tag to wwwizer, because openshift might change IP address.

If you are looking for a free (1 domain) service that redirects naked domains with valid SSL certificates. I moved from wwwizer to nakedssl to redirect to an Opensift server and it works fine.

Well first of all I had to generate ssl certificate for naked domain - digrin.com. I set temporarily A tag for digrin.com to openshift's ip and generated ssl certificate.
Now we have working certificate, but since A tag for digrin can not be set permanently, domain registrant must support naked domain redirect. More on this you can read here -> if you registrant does not support it, move to cloudfront (I will test cloudfront if my registrant will not add this feature within few months and will update this answer).
