Kickstart via HTTPS?

[Tedman Eng]

Unless the kickstart installer can be made to do so, you'd have to use a
seperate machine to create the ssh tunnel to pass the kickstart installation
through.

Although, ssh/scp is perhaps an interesting possibility to use during the
%post% section.

Just a thought how about seting up and ssh-tunnel and use http kickstart 
traffic through the tunnel ?
