    Ok i'm not that clued up on the security issues but HTTPS has been around for a number of years and is used a lot on sites where payment details are entered, banks paypal etc. So why do you think it's needed here? In what way would it make it safer?

    THE TRUTH
    The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

    Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
    The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

      The HTTPS system effectively creates an ssl tunnel between client and server making it difficult for third parties to monitor the transactions. I suppose you could say its a halfway house to a vpn although if your really worried about privacy a full vpn would be a much better option
