Bug ID: 73203
Summary: PhpHttpRequest requires a certificate repository
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.25-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
Assignee: [email protected]

Mobile Platform: ---
When I activated $wgInstantCommons on my fresh computer without php-curl (so MW
used PhpHttpRequest to download data from Commons), it didn’t work until I
specified the caInfo option in PhpHttpRequest (to /etc/ssl/certs, Ubuntu
14.04).
(Then I experienced bug 73199 but this is not directly linked.)
It would be nice if this piece of code could automatically find the certificate
repository file or directory. Perhaps some magic value make PHP automatically
find the default cert repo of the system or perhaps it works on some couple
(PHP version, Operating System).
Else I don’t see other solutions than specifing default cert repo for major OS
(I know, it would be a pain to maintain it). Or another option would be to even
remove all HTTPS-related code in PhpHttpRequest and require CURL for HTTPS.
Before changing anything, it would be great to see this is bug is widely
experienced on various platforms (PHP+OS) or if it is only an isolated case.
