As brought to my attention by Max, through a post on his talk page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:MZMcBride#HTTPS_switch
== The problem == Basically, some user defined JS out there has "http://"; hard coded, and when you request insecure (non-https) resources during a secure session you get errors in many modern browsers. This is a heads up that this user created code might need some special attention before and after the switch over. == How to fix == The best option is to use "protocol relative" urls, these are urls that start with "//someurl" instead of "http://"; or "https://"; or "gopher://"; etc. Here's a blog post about when we started using protocol relative urls in MediaWiki and at WMF: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2011/07/19/protocol-relative-urls-enabled-on-test-wikipedia-org/ I've put up basic instructions on the HTTPS page on metawiki: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/HTTPS#Help.21_My_code_is_broken.21 Thanks for getting this out to the appropriate channels!
