Bug 20342 is primarily about URLs generated by/for user interface components and whatnot, where currently we would tend to select either 'http' or 'https' forms but are looking for ways to avoid splitting caches so the same HTML output can be stored and used for both. For wikitext-formatted messages, it _might_ be useful to be able to pass in such URLs directly into things using '[$1 blah]'. For documents in general, that's a bit more fragile; when we use protocol-relative links we're saying "we know FOR SURE that both this site and the other site we're talking about are available on both http and https, and that the correct thing to do is to send you to the same protocol on the other site". IMO that's a bit flaky -- folks are probably more likely to accidentally put in a link that doesn't actually work in one mode or the other without testing it correctly -- but it might be a necessary evil. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
