Hi,

According to someone who just looked into this, LinkedIn does not
really support HTTPS meaningfully yet.  From their report, the HTTPS
support is limited to the front page and is not used at all on the
rest of the site, including after you sign in.  Is this different
from what you see?  Does the "S" go away once you sign in, or is
it still present when you're using other parts of the site?
