The fix Roan applied only deals with the API and action=parse, not the normal frontend.
I'm not representitive of the WMF, however I do not understand why they should have to bend over for your lack of attention to announcements for this change. Roan's live hack to the API for the time being was very kind, however to ask the WMF tech team to rollback the entire protocol-relative switch so you can get yourself prepared is somewhat rude. They've been working on this for some time, and this change is depended upon by other projects (The new SSL system) Also, since you're not even using the API (Which is another issue in itself), why are you even posting to mediawiki-api?
