I would love to have an option to allow all external requests when the page you're on is HTTPS.

I primarily use RequestPolicy to block adverts, cookies, and other junk. I sometimes forget to disable it when I use a shopping site or service site where I have to enter credit card information, these sites often have my browser connect to third parties in order to verify my card. If I forget to set allow all I risk sending payment information twice when I refresh the page.

This option could be turned off by default or even hidden in an advanced submenu. It could also be merged into the Regular Expressions suggestion if you included protocol as an option (e.g. From: "HTTPS.*" TO: "HTTPS:.*").
