You can in fact do this with HTTPS, but you'd have to find a client and server that support it. There's choices of ciphers, and one of them is the "null" cipher

You can in fact do this with HTTPS, but you'd have to find a client and server that support it. There's choices of ciphers, and one of them is the "null" cipher I believe it's called. I'd be shocked if really anything supports it though, without configuring it on explicitly.
