Description - 2012-05-02 19:22:43 UTC

Native option for automatic redirection from http to https.

In other words, merge http://fs.fsinf.at/wiki/SecurePages extension into source code. Plus add relative options to preferences.

+1

Also, rIght now it’s possible to log in with HTTPS and then visit (say, from an external link) a Wikimedia page via http and be suddenly not logged in anymore. Change the URL back to https and, presto, you’re logged in again.

It’s great that the authentication cookies are set to secure, but that should really come with a non-secure “hey-please-redirect-me-to-https” cookie.
