Can GhostRank be configured to send data over HTTPS? When accessing HTTPS sites (e.g., https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire..., the full URL including any GET parameters are transmitted in HTTP through GhostRank which is not good. E.g., the GhostRank URL for the above request would be something like http://l.ghostery.com/api/census?bid=....
If it were sent via HTTPS, the data would be in the CONNECT tunnel and not prone to inspection by intermediaries.

Note that querystrings (GET parameters) are removed from page URLs before sending.

+1, this is pretty unsafe... I mean, if I enable GhostRank then everyone on the local network knows what sites I'm opening, which might be not cool in some situations depending on what network I'm in and what exactly I'm opening. I'd like to help you guys with gathering data, but not if it goes out in plain text.
