Subject: Re: [MediaWiki-l] https
Why do that when you can just use a redirect in an apache vhost accept
the
connection on http and redirect it to https. If the person is already
using
vhosts that is very easy to implement
??? Not addressing the real problem. The original question was...

There was no mention of his setup, host he was using, if he had a SSL
cert, if no SSL cert (host misconfiguration?), https login only, etc...
how many links? 5 or 50.
Did you set $wgServer ? Canonicals should always point to what you
prefer in indexing, http or https? Are both the https and http page
versions both indexed? Double indexing same content hurts Google
rankings. Same as http://www vs. http:// would.
Google should not index https unless https is available. So, Mark was
long term best suggestion of finding and updating the links to https.
Pretty easy to find who is linking to the pages. 50 links? If there are
a lot, bigger issue.
I would say at this point, Bernhard, we need more information.
