I followed up on the tracker.  I'm +0 on adding this to 2.6, but not until after the 2.6.7 release on Friday.

How well has this change been tested?  Are there people for whom this could break things? As others have pointed out: it would break systems that don't have the ssl module built.

yeah, we would need to fallback to http in that case.

while using https by default is a nice addition, maybe we should also look at adding a scp-like upload/register command, since the server has now this ability.
