I'm usually accessing gmail via https. Certain wifi providers (at airports for example) forbid https connections, but allow http. Is there a quick way to force gmail to use http? (http://gmail.com redirects to https://…)

If these WiFi providers forbid all https connections, then you are out of luck. All gmail logins go over https, and there is no way to change that. It's only once you're in the session that you have the option to use http instead of https. Leaving your session unencrypted on public WiFi might not be the best idea either (see Facebook and Firesheep as an example).
