Bug ID: 44573
Summary: [Interwiki] Links should use HTTP or HTTPS URL
protocol relative to current page
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Interwiki (extension)
Assignee: soxre...@gmail.com
Reporter: fastgoldf...@gmail.com
CC: run...@gmail.com, wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The Interwiki table currently requires the specification of the protocol.
Instead, there should be an indication of whether the server at the destination
supports HTTPS, and then the protocol should be selected dynamically, to match
the protocol in use on the current page. If HTTPS is not indicated as being
supported, then the Interwiki extension should fall back to HTTP by default.
I tested this on MediaWiki 1.18.x, using the older version of Interwiki
required for 1.18. I looked at the code changes, and didn't see anything recent
that indicated protocol-relative URLs were implemented in newer versions. If
I've overlooked it, apologies.
