Test url: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikinews/en/wiki/MediaWiki:Comments.js?action=edit&externaledit=true Expected behaviour is that it works, actual behaviour is that vim pops up with an empty window. Possibly something wrong with just my install. Wouldn't be surprised if I was just missing whatever library perl needs to do https. This is mostly a reminder to myself to investigate more later.
ee.pl doesn't do a lot of error reporting; I had to hack in some checks but it turned out that internally the HTTP library was reporting back this error: Can't locate object method "new" via package "LWP::Protocol::https::Socket" This fixes it for me on Ubuntu 11.04: sudo apt-get install libcrypt-ssleay-perl
Added a note to that effect to INSTALL in r88855, but it should probably... catch the error and more explicitly complain.
Still happens on: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Comments.js?action=edit&externaledit=true https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Comments.js?action=edit&externaledit=true

(Originally it worked on the first url). [I'm on a public computer or i would test].
External editor support was removed in Ic3791d18. Use the API.
