Don't fight HTTPS. It's for your own good.

https is about lock-in and security theatre. Go look how many root CAs
are in your browser, and tell me none of them will ever issue certs to
bad guys, accidentally or otherwise.
I firmly believe Google has an endgame, with Chrome and https, of creating
a closed content delivery system that is only accessible to paying (large)
organisations. The internet will become cable TV, with pay-per-view.
