Using SSL by default means all transparent proxies inbetween aren't hit at all, since they'd be a MITM. I don't necessarily see this as a bad thing, as transparent proxies often break things. Browsers cache things differently from HTTPS sites, but otherwise everything should work as normal. The SSL termination proxies transparently proxy to our frontend caches after termination. Links are sent as protocol-relative so that we don't split our cache, as well. - Ryan _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
