HTTPS is supported just not enabled by default as we don't have keys in 
the distribution to be able to enable it.  This is actually a topic I 
want to discuss next week.

We have a few problems with having it enabled by default: -
  - If we include keys in the distribution being open source those keys 
are public knowledge.
  - Also keys are specific to the host name used to connect to the 
server so at best we could assume 'localhost' but in that scenario the 
benefits of SSL are limited.
  - We could create a new key on start up, this would delay the start up 
time and also we have the default hostname assumption issue again.
  - We could provide a set of ops and add wizards to the CLI and admin 
console to manage the keys and certificates.

The latter is actually my preferred option but it would involve a little 
bit of work all round but the main benefit being that a wizard gets to 
ask the right questions.
