I think this is very very bad idea. There are many resources which are not worth being protected by HTTPS.
This is about protecting people, not resources.
I think an eight-year-old article about a hacked-up, homebrew 8-bit webserver is the edgiest of edge case I've ever seen, but there's a seed of an idea in there about embedded devices that's important.
The common case there, though, will be home users who do not know the first thing about network security but have a house full of wireless embedded devices and appliances, not the lo-fi hacker community who you'd expect to have a better sense of what they're in for. In that context HTTPS is a security measure you expect to be there by default, as basic and universal as the locks on your front door.
