You can display the form itself using HTTP, but post the form to
https://myformhandler.cfm and the password will be encrypted.

Keep in mind that if you redirect the home page itself to HTTPS, or otherwise
start serving pages using HTTPS://, and if you use addresses without
specifying the protocol (e.g. "/mydir/mypag.cfm") the visitor will continue
browsing using HTTPS.  On a busy server, serving non-sensitive information on
a secure connection may impose unnecessary overhead for the page encryption.
