I don't understand the distinction between the login form and every other page of the site. If someone is logged in and then back to normal http, someone can just grab the cookie and pretend to be that person already-logged-in.

I suppose if one uses the same password for every account they have then knowing their password is more harmful than just having access to 1 site... but other than that it seems like a distinction without a difference.
