            Bug ID: 53131
           Summary: make $wgUseInstantCommons protocol always secure
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.21.1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Sites

$wgUseInstantCommons protocol appears to be relative according to this bugfix:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32219

However, in some countries (like Syria) Wikimedia Commons is blocked if you're
using http, so if you're on another wiki that doesn't have ssl, you'll not be
able to see any image form the commons, which is really odd.

I think that $wgUseInstantCommons should always use https, I tried to use
$wgForeignFileRepos code here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUseInstantCommons and changed the
apibase to use https and everything worked just fine, it'll be better if just
the easy $wgUseInstantCommons use https always.

Thanks.
