Google finally adds 'always use https' option to Gmail.

FF3user: Here is a thread addressing your question. http://bytes.com/forum/thread148000.html Basically it boils down to it being implied when you do not specify 'window'.
Differences between Google Secure and Google Secure Pro:
Google Secure forces SSL on
https://www.google.com/accounts/*
https://www.google.com/a/*
http://mail.google.com/a/*.
Google Secure Pro forces SSL on
http://mail.google.com/*
http://www.google.com/calendar/*
http://docs.google.com/*
http://spreadsheets.google.com/*
http://www.google.com/reader/*
http://www.google.com/bookmarks/*
http://www.google.com/history/*
http://groups.google.com/*
http://sites.google.com/*
I do not include google.com/accounts because this page is already SSL forced. Same with google.com/health.
No idea why Google doesn't force Gmail to use this by default. It's just plain silly on their part.

Hey...
What difference does it do, not having 'window' in the code like your script doesn't?:
location.href = location.href.replace(/^http:/, 'https:');
Contrary to this:
window.location.href = window.location.href.replace(/^http:/, 'https:');
Like the http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8311 'Google Secure' script have.
And what is the difference between your script and this script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/26175 'Secure GMail'?
Also: Why doesn't Gmail do this by default? Why not use https all the time? there must be a reason?

very nice (note: be sure to adjust other scripts, that you may have installed, that apply to the Google service affected by this script, so the scripts continue to work correctly with the change in security configuration)
