have you considered that any site that requests credentials NOT over HTTPS is a security risk to have those credentials stolen? I'd file as a bug that you are not immediately redirected to HTTPS when it requests credentials.
as to having it happen automatically.. you could construct a method that checks for the popup and responds if it finds it, and then just call that method in the places this happens. or just start out on the HTTPS page.. in terms of anything else automatic, if you can do it from the browser manually, then you should be able to do the same thing with watir-webdriver. but be aware that a fundimental behavior of webdriver is to emulate what a real user can do.. if you can't do it manually (setup some kind of autologin) you won't likely be able to do it with any tool that uses webdriver. (classic example is clicking a button the user can't see, if a user can't see a control to click on it (even if it is in the DOM) then webdriver won't let you click on it.
