I can't think of any reason we wouldn't want it to be mandatory at this
point. Even within data centers, raw, unencrypted HTTP is becoming very
rare between servers, so the only use case where you want HTTP, but
don't need HTTPS, would seem to be serving Factor from behind an SSL
terminator in a situation where Factor itself never needed to talk to
any other web service. This seems like a sufficient edge-case that it's
not desirable.
