Summary:  Problems with login cookies: don't work with http, only https

Original Submission:  After I log in to Savannah, I have a cookie (I assume) 
that remembers my login.  This is fine with one problem: it only seems to be 
available if I use the https (SSL) connection.  If I type in a URL like 
http://savannah.gnu.org then my login is lost.  It would be nice if the cookie 
could be available even for non-SSL connections, since most of my bookmarks, 
etc. use simple http://...

If that can't be done, please modify the URLs that the trackers send out to use 
https://... instead of http://... so that when I get a new bug announcement I 
can click on the link and when it comes up in my browser it's using my existing 
login, rather than my having to edit the URL in the browser box to add the "s" 
to make it https://...  Note that it's fine to connect with https://... 
addresses even if you're not logged in; it works the same.
