Bug ID: 61048
Summary: Disabling https broken
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User preferences
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
While testing another preferences patch, I found that stock mediawiki is no
longer respecting the preference to disable https after login when
wgSecureLogin is set.
* User is redirected to https when they click login, and the url parameter
"fromhttp=1" is added.
* User logs in (doesn't seem to matter if remember me is selected or not)
* User is logged in, and cookies are set *for encrypted connections only*
* User does *not* get a forceHTTPS cookie
* User is redirected to the https version of the page where they clicked login
Obviously, if the user types in an http:// url, they are no longer logged into
the site since the cookie are set for https calls only.
CentralAuth correctly handles the preference, so most users on WMF wikis are
not affected. But we should get this fixed.
