The Windows version 7.6.20 should make the http->https seamless.

Mac/Linux users might still have to do the detach/re-attach dance.

This would ensure no information is transmitted in the plain text and reduce the attack possibilities against client computers. (I know a lot of info is already transmitted encrypted)

From a client side it will just alert people to change the URL at their convenience, they should:
1. Set No New Tasks to finish work.
2. Finish work
3. Detach
4. Reattach using HTTPS.

Happy to help!
