Lycos Webmail offers a checkbox named "SSL LOGIN" which let you assume a secure 
transfer of your credentials - it's only pretended! Repeatedly sniffs shows 
account and password in cleartext - no https-packet came across...
The interesting part of the relating http-packet:

...
login=dasbinich&hiddenlogin=Nutzername&hiddenpassword=******&password=geheim000&ssl=on
HTTP/1.0 302 Found
