I think that technically only your form submit should be posted to a SSL 
based url and the rest doesn't have to. Which shouldn't be so hard. Just 
setup the 'post to' url in the template (under: form action="" ) or define 
in the view method where the form is initiated just before rendering.

Thing I'm wondering about though, when the user/password combi is incorrect 
the most secure way would be to simply send the empty form back in the 
resulting page, because otherwise a username might be sent back to the 
client outside the SSL connect.

Haven't looked for it yet, but I do want to implement that myself. Lets post 
if we find anything :)

Regards,

Gerard.
