--- Comment #10 from Carolina wren <salis...@mindspring.com> ---
Let me present a scenario ask if this is indeed what would happen.  If were
logged out of wikimedia and then visited a site where I have not set the
preference as I desired and then for some odd reason, logged in there, would I
get the cookies set? If I understand you correctly, it would.

In that case, the bug is that while you have a preference to allow a person to
choose "Always use a secure connection when logged in" (an option which which
is now by default always enabled unless one chooses opt-out)  there is no
option to specify "Never use a secure connection when logged in".

Incidentally, when I first noticed the problem I tried manually editing the
cookies to have a value of "0" instead of "1" in hopes they were a boolean
flag, but that didn't work, but perhaps you should consider doing that.

However you choose to implement it, it sounds like you need to replace the
kludge you used to enforce Wales' privacy fears with one that allows those of
us who don't share them to opt out globally, instead of having to make us opt
out potentially hundreds of times.
