If the server doesn't support encrypted HTTP requests, you either need
some other form of encryption that the server _does_ support, or a
proxy that can decrypt the request and pass it on (in which case
packet sniffing at the proxy could reveal what's happening). Why are
you so worried about packet sniffing? Is it something you expect to
happen?
