Is there no way to do it? SSL creates a lot of overhead for a site that

There are ugly or less ugly workarounds, like the one yahoo uses. Login
can go against HTTPS, sets up it's version of session and then redirects
the user to HTTP. There the server will pickup the user via a cookie or
a URL containing yahoo's session. From there on, yahoo can use any
session mechanism it likes.
This, of course cannot be coupled with HTTP AUTH Basic. It is outside of
that spec.
Nix.
