I've never done any work with the eNULL ciphers, so please correct me if 
I'm wrong, but wouldn't they still prevent active tampering with the 
HTTPS communication?

(I understand your point; most web applications today require 
confidentiality to be secure, since sniffing cookies and passwords will 
give you access to the system, but maybe the OP has a use case that 
doesn't require it.)
