[OT] gmail behaviour

[Thomas McGrath III]

If you type the missing "s" after http in Mail it will take you to the https:// 
  page BUT it is not secure!!!! It is heavily reliant on Javascript  
and cookies to load your information.

Look at the source code for each view and you will see they are both  
the SAME code. http:// & https:// source is identical.
And they both point ONLY to the original http://  NOT to any https://  
at all.

 From the source code view do a search for https and you will find  
nothing but just http will show the actual targets from within this  
site.
