As far as I know, the latest code in svn now works properly with https.
 As for making the authentication page be in https and the rest of the
app in http, that's going to be interesting.  In G2 we could do that
because the login page is a separate page request.  But in G3, the login
dialog is an HTML overlay and apparently with jquery if you try to
request an https dialog on an http page, it comes up on a new page.  Not
sure how to solve that yet.. perhaps somebody has an idea?


To test this out yourself, try editing modules/user/views/login.html.php
and change url::site("login/ajax")to  url::site("login/ajax", "https")
-- that'll change the Login link in the top right corner to https, then
you can fiddle around with it to see if you can get it working.
