It seems Google is deprecating the http resource, though. If you visit http://code.google.com/apis/libraries/devguide.html#jquery, all paths are listed as HTTPS.

This seems like a good solution -- just encourage everyone to use HTTPS to avoid the cache fragmentation.

It has taken over two years to get to the point we're at now in terms of a critical mass of sites linking to the Google CDN via the HTTP references. I'd have a hard time recommending people begin switching to the SSL reference now (sacrificing that cross-site caching benefit that has accumulated) unless they're actually serving encrypted pages and need to solve the mixed content issue.
