Ouch, I guess I missed this e-mail since it didn't say "BREAKING CHANGE" like normal. Is it possible to roll back this change for the main servers for about two weeks? It actually breaks all of the mobile clients iOS I have tested: Wikipanion, Articles, iWiki and probably almost others. They have to set their base URL to the local disk (file:///) in order to be able to load local resources off of the hard drive (stylesheets, images, etc.) due to security limitations.
