I guess not because I can't see any way of turning on SSL authentication, but I thought I'd ask since my eyes have been known to deceive me....

By authentication, do you mean verifying the certificate presented by the server? If so, this is handled by Firefox. REST Easy piggybacks on XMLHttpRequest, using some extra privileged methods to work around issues setting certain headers.
