Hi,

As I suspected, the hall-of-shame posted on Amir's site may be a bit 
misguided since these pages do in-fact submit HTTPS (SSL) logins.

the subject has been discussed about three months ago. Please check the
list archives: http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/107/402824/30/0/threaded

The problem with those pages is not that login information is sent
unencrypted (which it isn't), but that the login form is unauthenticated,
which means it could as well be a phishing site - the user has no way
to tell the difference.

Bye,
