[Wikitech-l] HTTPS Mobile en.wikipedia.org

2012-11-16 Thread Derric Atzrott
My phone's homepage is set to https://en.wikipedia.org/ .  Yesterday I noticed
for the first time that the redirect to the mobile site sends you to
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/ regardless of whether or not you used http or https
to begin with.

 

I'm not sure if this is the right list for this (as I'm not on any other lists,
so I don't know their culture and scopes as well), but I believe that it is on
topic. 

 

Thank you,

This is a known -- and very unfortunate -- problem with the mobile redirect:

If you go straight to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/ it should remain on the
secure site.
