My problem: I want to open an intranet wiki to the outside world, with Google login to even view anything beyond the fact of its existence. (I emailed the list about this before, and it's working great and everyone is very pleased.)
We have an external IP, which accepts SSL on 443 and http:// on 80, and passes both through to the back-end server as plaintext on port 80. So both https://example.wiki and http://example.wiki work, because we have legacy http:// URLs in documentation *everywhere* that need to keep working. Trouble is: how do I get it, when it gets an http:// URL, to auto-redirect to https:// ? Remember that the server sees *only* http:// connections, it isn't doing SSL at all - SSL is terminated at the external IP. I had to make the GoogleLogin extension (0.3.1) accept both http:// and https:// versions of Special:GoogleLogin for login to work on http:// pages. (Can Apache even see if the incoming request was originally https:// ?) Ideas welcome! - d. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list To unsubscribe, go to: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
