Description

It would be nice if one could make a <t:form> post to SSL by specifying t:secure="true" on the form component.

It is a quite common design pattern nowadays to have a login form on each page. It is mostly not necessary however to access all pages via https.

This is useful when the common Layout includes a quick login form.
