 Good news! It is now possible to do the Google captcha over HTTPS, but
 only through https://sorry.google.com/sorry/...

 If you try instead https://www.google.com/sorry/... it will just redirect
 you to the Google homepage right away.

 Another issue is that the "continue" GET variable, which holds the URL for
 redirection, will default to HTTP even if the original search was through
 HTTPS, so it will have to be rewritten, too.

 I tried the following (rough) ruleset as a proof of concept, but for some
 reason it doesn't seem to do anything here (which may be a problem with my
 installation):

 {{{
 <ruleset name="GoogleSorry">
   <target host="www.google.com" />

   <rule from="^http://www\.google\.com/sorry/\?continue=http"
 to="https://sorry.google.com/sorry/\?continue=https" />
 </ruleset>
 }}}
