Currently MediaWiki doesn't have a native notion of multiple hostname/protocol availability and it's done by lightly patching configuration at runtime when loaded over HTTPS. Unless something is added, that'll continue in the same way. My personal preference would be to run *all* logged-in activity over HTTPS, so every mail link etc should be on SSL. But I think that's still a ways out yet and will need better SSL acceleration; poor Ryan Lane will kill me if I keep pushing on that too soon! ;) -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
