Title: Use SSL for personal data

Currently only user name/password is encrypted using HTTP basic encryption, but user's personal data (e.g. collections) is not encrypted.

It is now generally accepted that all personal data should be encrypted, and this fix applies encryption to any mblogin network requests (which implies personal data is being loaded / saved).
