force https on certain sites?

[peter]

Is there a way to force https (secure) to be on when I navigate to any
websites that require login and supports secure login?
In other words, to avoid accidentally logging in in non-secure mode.
If no general solution, how about just passport login sites?

No. The use of the HTTPS protocol (TLS/SSL) is something requested by the
server itself.

Are they in the Trusted zone's Sites... list?
See if the checkbox
Require server verification (https for all sites in this zone
does what you want?

Note: I wouldn't expect it to override an explicitly given protocol
but perhaps it will cause trusted sites specified without a protocol prefix
to be assigned the https: one.

Hmm... nope. All that checkbox can do it seems is make sure
that the zone icon being displayed is the right one for a particular site
and protocol combination. Tested with IE7b2p. YMMV.
