[support] Drupal on HTTPS

[Metzler, David]

Naw we do this (Aside from the obvious performance issues about
decripting data for large numbers of hits).  There's a securepages
module out there to force redirects on certain pages if your interested
in making sur ethat just the login informatioin or user information
happens over https.

Subject: [support] Drupal on HTTPS

Hello,

Is there any harm in serving Drupal over HTTPS instead of HTTP?

I want the Drupal login to be on HTTPS because I just don't like sending
passwords in plain text. But with Apache it is no more work to make the
entire site run on HTTPS versus just one page. In fact, it seems easier.

So, I was wondering, is there any good reason not to serve a Drupal site
over HTTPS? It seems a bit odd, but I figure, if I already have an SSL
certificate, I figure, what's the harm?

Thanks.
Daniel
