Forum:HTTPS on interwiki links

Now that Wikipedia et al finally have proper HTTPS support, naturally the first thing I did (well, one of the first...) was to come here and test the interwiki prefix, to see if Wikia has updated any of the interwiki URLs for HTTPS yet. wikipedia: has been updated (as well as, interestingly enough ^^ ), but a number of others still use HTTP:


 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * hewikisource:
 * 

And, for good measure...
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * kmwiki:
 * 

has been updated to use HTTPS, but it seems whoever did so goofed - it creates links to the nonexistent bugzilla.wikipedia.org, instead of bugzilla.wikimedia.org.

Lastly, https://www.wikia.com doesn't work (Google Chrome shows an SSL error - "You attempted to reach www.wikia.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as *.a.ssl.fastly.net."); is this a misconfiguration somewhere or something deeper? 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:37, October 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've tagged this for staff attention, currently no interwikis on the table use https, I don't know if that's likely to change. As far as TLS on Wikia.com, I don't think that exists at the moment (although it's something I wouldn't mind seeing in the near future. --  Random Time  06:06, October 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that; I don't hang out on Central enough to have known to do so myself. ;) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:53, October 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * I am curious why one would use SSL for a wiki tough. Why you want secure connection for something which is opensource and freely available.
 * FOSS and SSL have nothing to do with each other in that sense; it's all about having a secure connection to the server, helping to prevent such things as session hijacking (which is very very bad if you have a privilege account, e.g. admins). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:06, October 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed, especially with the advent of firesheep - I'd quite like to be able to run with HTTPs wherever I am if I'm on public wifi. --  Random Time  18:11, October 4, 2011 (UTC)
