This is the one missing feature that keeps me from using Evolution as my primary PIM instead of Thunder/Sunbird.
I suppose that using VPN is a solution of sorts, but it's not really practical. I don't want to add (and maintain) a vpn service on my webserver just so that I can view my calendar over a secure connection, and as long as there are other clients out there that support https, I'm simply not going to do it. VPN is overkill and too much work for this simple task. This is exactly what SSL is for!
Otherwise, Evolution is a great app. So I really hope it will support https soon.
Thanks! -C-

If you are concerned about security, you might still be able to do something similar with the addition of some form of tunneling, like zebedee, ssh, PPTP (a protocol designed at Microsoft, and there have been many problems in Microsoft's -implementation-, but according to Bruce Schneier, the problems are -only- in their implementation, not in the protocol's design), IPSEC, OpenVPN, or whatever. For linux<->linux, openvpn is particularly easy to set up... That is, if you're on a 32 bit x86 system - I had to downgrade a x86-64 machine to FC3 for x86 (32 bit), because the tun module didn't work, and OpenVPN requires that module (?).
