[Bug 69319] Allow option to uncheck Always use a secure connection when logged in at login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69319 --- Comment #6 from Cometstyles cometsty...@yahoo.com --- Its less about it being slow and more about it being irritating..why should you enforcehttps on me (via cookies) even though i have disabled that option in that wiki's preference? ..you people are refusing to see this as a bug/a problem..but its a major pain in the ass for me so please, allow users to globally TURN OFF this pathetic option, no one cares about security on the wiki... You are sacrificing speed for security (which is unnecessary).. I edit 40+ wikis a day from all domains and this is seriously becoming quite irritating..even deleting the forcehttps cookies logs me out of everything and prevent me from login back in unless i delete all centralauth related cookies..if you refuse to fix this, atleast come up with a global script to allow users to bypass this idiotic option. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69319 --- Comment #5 from Andre Klapper aklap...@wikimedia.org --- (In reply to Cometstyles from comment #0) Https is slow It's been explained on IRC already that this is not correct, and that the reason for the slowness when using HTTPS is likely not HTTPS itself but something outside (provider? routing?); and comment 2 has explained that the specific HTTPS preference that you refer to is only applied for the *handshake* anyway. Summarizing how I understand things: The problem that you experience is very likely triggered by something else and changing that preference would not solve your problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69319 --- Comment #3 from Cometstyles cometsty...@yahoo.com --- I figured login.wikimedia.org was the global special:preference and changing it there would affect all wikis..it could be a good idea to make it the Global Preference panel for wikimedians..Wikia has a global option on their wikis, I wonder why we are so behind... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69319 --- Comment #2 from Chris Steipp cste...@wikimedia.org --- login.wikimedia.org really should never be visited by end users, and users don't have edit rights there. That is why they can't edit any preferences. The preference on loginwiki has almost no impact on your use of https on other wikis (unless you're actually putting in your username and password there). It will enforce that the actual login handshake (which is uncachable anyway, since we're logging you in) goes over https if you're not from China/Iran. I think the issue Cometstyles is hitting is that logging into a project that didn't have the preference set (ie., zh.wikipedia.org), and we set the forceHTTPS cookie at the top-level domain for the project (.wikipedia.org), so other wikis in project would start redirecting to https, even though their cookies are good for both http and https. The fix for this is either a global preference, which unfortunately we don't have yet. Or we set forceHTTPS per wiki, which was actually the original design, but was changed a while back because it makes it really hard to usefully examine your cookies. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
