Does anyone still remember the times when MSIE actually warned you if you were POSTing anything over an unencrypted connection?

Yes and it basically showed how it doesn't work. Applications were designed around the assumption that the user would click through the warnings. It looks like Firefox and Chromium are doing far better by restricting features to SSL, though I would be happier if they were also trying to push something more resistant to nation-state abuse...
