Compare bug 1475
Seems like an even better idea to me.
Resolving this as WONTFIX for the same reason as bug 15320: this is againt making the login form available (only) from a secure location.

Apologies - that's a Wikipedia-specific question.
Not really. This feature could be only available on wiki sites that are HTTPS-only for logged in usage, which is an increasingly large percentage of the web.
Ah, sure - I wasn't conversant with whether that was a MediaWiki built-in option that this would have to interface with somehow, or a WMF-local server setting of some sort.
Either way, it turns out that this bug is in the process of being fixed - I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of bug 15484 (even though this one was filed a year earlier) as there's patch action happening over there.
