What would need to be done to enable https (Secure HTTP)?

Most sites these days support an https://www.warpmymind.com option. This is Secure HTTP which means you need more than a packet sniffer to follow what someone is doing. I know this would only annoy MIB folks but it would reduce the amateur hacker's snooping. What would need to be done to enable a few https connections?

This should be a fairly simple matter (not sure if this will involve any additional/increased costs)... to get things on https, is basically just adding a site certificate to validate things (and establish encryption keypairs).

it is relatively simple, but I want to do it so users don't get warnings every time the site displays the external ads and since WMM V2 will launch soon(no, really, I mean it this time ;) there's no compelling reason to do it here right now.

You should push your advertising server to also offer secure ads.
