Facebook links offerred by Rapportive sidebar should use https
Otherwise, I'm vulnerable to FireSheep if I'm browsing in public. Even if I tell FB to always use https, the rapportive link gives me an http connection. I'm using mailplane and chrome on Mac OS X.

Fred, thanks very much for this suggestion. We will try to offer this soon.
To the best of my knowledge, if you have configured Facebook to use https then this isn’t actually needed for Facebook links, because Facebook will immediately redirect you to the secure https page without leaking your cookies. (This is just the same as typing facebook.com directly in your browser’s address bar.) So if you have already configured Facebook this way, then you shouldn’t be at any risk as a result of clicking on links in Rapportive.
