It's triggered by selecting the "Stay connected to > HTTPS after login" checkbox when logging in, which is visible when > $wgSecureLogin is true. Is there any work remaining on this bug? There still doesn't appear to be a way, as a user, to specify that you want to receive communications that specify a particular protocol (cf. comment 0, comment 11, and bug 29878 comment 8). Your patch addresses the cookie portion and the user option _at login_, but the general user preference is not implemented (or alternately, a particular protocol is not mandated), as far as I can tell. This may or may not be the subject of a separate bug, though. Generally, I'm not sure the approach of using a "Stay connected to HTTPS after login" is a good idea. It doesn't serve a second use-case well (e-mail and other communications) and it seems like weird clutter on the login form UI. If any preference is to be implemented at all (and I'm not sure that mandating for logged-in users and user communications is really that bad), I think it should be done in the same place as every other user preference. This also gives it the benefit of having an easy-to-set default value. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
