Fwd: HTTPS for logged in users on Wednesday August 21st

[Greg Grossmeier-2]

This has implications for bot owners (all users, including bot users,
will be forced to HTTPS instead of HTTP when logged in).

Please review your code to make sure it won't break on Wednesday :)

> Hello all,
>
> As we outlined in our blog post on the future of HTTPS at the Wikimedia
> Foundation[0], the plan is to enable HTTPS by default for logged in
> users on August 21st, this Wednesday.
>
> We are still on target for that rollout date.
>
> As this can have severe consequences for users where HTTPS is blocked by
> governments/network operators *in addition to* users who connect to
> Wikimedia sites via high latency connections, we've set up a page on
> MetaWiki[1] describing what is going on and what it means for users and
> what they can do to report problems.
>
> Please help watch out for any unintended consequences on August 21st and
> report any negative issues to us as soon as you can. Bugzilla[2], IRC
> (#wikimedia-operations), or the (forthcoming) OTRS email are all fine.
> Also, feel free to email myself or ping me directly on IRC.
>
> Best,
>
