Gwibber should use SSL for all protocols

[Evan McClain]

To prevent username/password from being broadcast in plain text, https should be used. This is important for all wifi users.

The attached patch seems to work for me.

Thanks. I should have done this a long time ago. I'm going to apply this patch asap and then start testing https with all the other protocols.

The Twitter patch has been committed and pushed to bzr. I'm going to leave this bug report open until I have finished fixing the other protocols.

Twitter, Identi.ca/Laconi.ca, Ping.fm, and Facebook all use SSL now. Jaiku and Digg don't seem to support it. I'm closing this for now, but please reopen if you find something I missed.

Perhaps there should be a comment in the configuration interface telling users that SSL is used. My initial reaction was that since I didn't find SSL as an option, it simply wasn't a feature, and I went with another client.

I would like to use facebook through https in gwibber but even in the login gwibber try to connect through http.
How can I patch gwibber to always use https to access facebook?
