Details

We don't have the secure flag on our AMO cookies, which means that if someone did a man-in-the-middle attack they could steal AMO sessions. Most AMO traffic that is automated uses https:// explicitly, but when people type in the domain it has to redirect from http->https. That scenario is the one of concern.
We need to: * patch cookie creation to create cookies with the secure bit * nuke all existing AMO sessions We could also consider: * disabling http->https redirects
