So in practice that means that every shared computer (libraries, internet cafes) in the world is gonna be hitting us exclusively via HTTPS within a few days of deploying this change. This is not necessarily a huge problem, but I just wanted to point this out. Also, STS forbids accepting invalid certs, and we're currently serving wrong certs for domains like wikipedia.com and wikidata.org; essentially all the misc domains we have are sent to wikimedia-lb, which means they get the star-wikimedia cert, which is bad. Serving STS fro those domains would be deadly. > To enable it for all users we'd need to expand the cluster so that every > squid/varnish node is also an HTTPS node.

Yes, MW should send these headers. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
