it's all depending on use cases.. that is why I don't think an API should be secured through SSL from day one.. here is an example how SSL can be unnecessary, if i am processing billions of ad request daily with a response time of less than few milliseconds, and operates in a secured environment, why would i need to add a layer of SSL on all the requests..

Use cases drive requirements, not buzz words drive requirements, and that's my whole point
