Note that ssl (and thus https) only helps here against a resource-less
man-in-the-middle. Getting catch-all CA-signed certificates is said to
no longer available to everyone as easily as it was some years ago, but
unless you allow only one private CA (and even there clients often fail)
you still should assume everyone resourceful enough to still be able to
do MITM.
