[dokuwiki] cookies

All this discussion about cookies is making me hungry! :)

However, I too have a question re: cookies with respect to DokuWiki.
Presently, I use https for my DokuWiki sites in order to protect usernames and passwords, many of which would be sent in the clear over untrusted (wireless) networks. However, I believe that https is slowing down the site. I've seen cases where sites (including say, orkut.com) do https login, and then redirect to http. My question is -- can I do something like this in DokuWiki? More importantly, how could I prevent a session from being hijacked given that a hacker could snoop the cookie, and steal the session of a logged in user without the use of their username/password? (It seems like this is just a general web problem, for which, there may very well be no solution...)
