I have to agree with BrowserUK here... What's preventing us from using SSL? Is it the cost? Of what? The certificate, or the implementation of one? The bigger issue... what about adding in a 'plugin' or 'layer' to when you first hit PM to do auth? I've never looked at the PM code before, but I will after my current project is completed (ie. stable for public use). I've been working on a bunch of auth scenario-type stuff at $work lately (in Python, not Perl), but perhaps we could come up with enough people to form a task force of some sort to resolve this issue. The ease of implementation of course would be determined by how deeply the existing code relies upon the mechanism(s) we now have.
