Once again, until we require a PHP that allows us to use TLS logins, we can
never be 100% sure that TLS logins will work correctly.  So we must place
this as the last resort.

Additionally, we are talking about a test script here, so secure-by-default
has much less meaning (especially since a non-secure login will be one of
the tests we automatically do in the test script).  And the last thing we
need in a test script is for *it* to fail.
