I propose setting $wgEnableCanonicalServerLink = true everywhere, and setting
$wgCanonicalServer to HTTPS on all servers except Chinese language wikis.
We did this with uz.wikipedia.org, and so we know with some confidence that it
will cause Google to provide links directly to the https website. This will
cause most of our traffic to go to HTTPS.
I'm filing this to create a place for discussion, rather than as an immediate
action item. Before this can be done, the SSL cluster would have to be expanded
significantly, assuming Ganglia capacity data is correct -- maybe by a factor
of 10. It may be simplest to wait until HTTPS is sent directly to Varnish, but
even then, some proper capacity calculations would be in order.
This would be an alternative to bug 48402 and a significant step towards bug
47832.
