currently when clicking to edit with p2 or iD it is switched to a unsecure connection without asking. This potentially leaks information which was intended to be protected.

Should be: stay on secure. If that is not possible ask the user what to do.

There's no way I'm going to waste time implementing this when we will get rid of the redirect as soon as the next release of iD happens - the current situation is just a temporary measure for a few weeks.

Thanks for your comment, Tom! Okay, fine then. If it would be quick, a simple mitigation would be not to show https links for the edit button links. Then it would be clear (at least the user has a chance) that the editing will not he via https. Currently the shown link is https.
