Yes as Bill said it is the rule. But slowly I have been noticing some changes where more use SSL. It is especially troublesome when traveling where you may use unencrypted WIFI spots to check stats. Your password and username goes over the clear and then anyone sniffing can get into your account!

One option is to set up an encrypted channel (SSH tunnel, SSL Proxy, etc) going to your own server and then run from the server to the site. This can help, especially when using WIFI. However the part from the server to the destination would still be in the clear.
