This may be a stupid question, but I got asked today and I didn't know the answer: if Wikimedia currently has a fairly large number of Web servers providing HTTP access, couldn't most of those servers be re-provisioned to serve HTTPS instead? I'm not sure why you would need 80 additional servers (not that the Wikimedia Foundation couldn't easily afford them, in any case). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
