[Zope-CMF] Basic Auth and SSL?

[seb bacon]

I use Apache as the server, and use mod_rewrite to redirect any requests 
for the login form to port 443.  You then need to make logged_in 
redirect to port 80.

For example (off the top of my head, so is probably wrong):

   RewriteCond ^/(.*)/login_form   https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/login_form
