My understanding from <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/29898> is that as of August 20, 2013, there is now a user preference that can toggle HTTP/HTTPS as being required. This is similar to what Gmail and others do (default to HTTPS, allow it to be disabled via a user preference). I'm not totally sure how users will be able to reach their user preferences if they can't log in, though.
