            Bug ID: 50334
           Summary: possibly unexpected behavior
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized

This might be OK, but I thought I'd report it because it seems strange to me: 

* login on http://test2.wikipedia.org with a global account, get the redirect
to central server and end up on the https URL https:/test2.wikipedia.org
* explicitly open an http page requiring login, like
http://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard by pasting into the
address bar

** User gets a message "Not logged in"

* click "Log in"
* on login page, click "Log in" without filling in password.  User name is
filled in automatically. 

** Login succeeds without password being entered
*** Note: sometimes upon doing this I briefly see a "Password field was empty"
or "Cookies required" error message before the login succeeds.

* explicitly open the http page again,
http://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard
** This time the user is sent to the page correctly without incident

Unexpected behavior: 

* Login succeeds from login page without a password required
* Login sometimes reports a missing-password or cookies error before succeeding
* Pasting an http: URL fails after first login but succeeds after second
password-less login.
