Info:
The develop branch (since 2012-11-24 https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/commit/fdf0b1a3844b2441852e472781a7bf41f8775b18 ) of Etherpad lite has been enabled to support (optionally, currently not by default) SSL i.e. to run EPL via https:// on native node.
The only required change:

This is all well and good, but since this is a labs instance, I hesitate to try deploying an SSL solution to it.
Let's see if we can't get EPL deployed to production, then we can actually do this right....especially since we'll be putting it behind a reverse proxy, I doubt we would have any trouble with SSL in any case.
Moving this to Wikimedia (I *think* there's an Etherpad component), and I'll add a few dependencies to this bug that are blocking it.
[update]
Native HTTPS support (No need for https on the reverse proxy) is now available in EPL branch master release 1.2.2 (since 2012-12-27)

EPL/SSL works fine for me (Firefox 23.0 on Windows XP)
Please publish server key fingerprint (md5, sha1) somewhere on MediaWiki, thanks / Wikinaut 09.08.2013 14:56 local time (20130809125617 UTC) so that users can check.

Hi, this SSL Etherpad works, so I think, this bug can be closed. As reporter of this bug I am closing it now,
"Use SSL for the etherpad lite instance on Labs" did not get fixed.
However epl.wikimedia.org is a sufficient solution.
Rephrasing summary.
