Simply using https for all connections is the easiest and best solution
imho. Everything in between is either insecure or inconvenient for the
users. And I also don't see the need for it. Every sane http client
should handle a http redirect and https. If it does not it's just a bug
in the client. Of course it is unfortunate that this wasn't tested by
the clyde author before.
