The presumption is the user will already have done
that one serve by going to the site via http
initially.

which is why most bank sites will also have a "login"
link that allows the user to receive credentials in
addition to the front page quickie login. example:
http://www.bankofamerica.com
quickie no server credential login on left. three
click credentialled login link on top right.
i was going to check if ncsecu had this, but it
appears offline again.

agreed. i kind of flipped out the first time i saw
that "feature" on my bank site. i wrote a letter of
complaint. it appears in pretty wide use now.
