How does HTTPSE stack up against the various illegal
access/use of computer/resource laws. After all, the sites may
not intend for that to be the general access method. Of course
HTTPSE is just an agnostic tool and the user would be
to blame. But it does strike rather silly that a site would
complain when they enable HTTPS over whatever portions
of their site they chose... and a user uses it as such. Oh wait,
that's the 'he said she said' illegal access thing again :)
