I had a chat with Chris Steipp and Brandon Harris. I was hoping they would chip in here (maybe they are not on the list so cc'ing them)
From the result of this talk it sounded like we could do login via JavaScript as long as we could ensure the user was on http at the time of login.
Effectively something like this...
<script> if ( window.location.protocol == 'https' ) { $( '.login' ).on( 'click', doAjaxLogin ); } </script>
Please correct me if I'm wrong…
Err, the opposite of what you said in the paragraph but accurate in your code.
We cannot do AJAX logins *unless* the source is https.
