Not strictly in the scope of this tracker, I know, but putting this in as a TODO for myself. On [[commons:MediaWiki:Vector.js]] (and possibly elsewhere), this: var metaBase = 'http://meta.wikimedia.org'; if ( mw.config.get( 'wgServer' ) == 'https://secure.wikimedia.org' ) { var metaBase = 'https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/meta'; } needs to be changed to just var metaBase = '//meta.wikimedia.org'; after we deploy HTTPS to meta.
There is a structure like that that is about as common, a little bit better: var xBase = 'http://x.wikimedia.org'; if ( mw.config.get( 'wgServer' ).indexOf('https://') === 0 ) { var xBase = 'https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/x'; } Except that this one is subject to the same bug, because wgServer doesn't contain http nor https. Until https is on all wikis, wikis should use protocol-relative where possible and keep these if-statements for wikis that don't yet.
Marking invalid as it's not a Wikimedia issue, but my previous post shows a work-around for wiks without https, and for those that do have https, the following can be used: var xBase = '//x.wikimedia.org'; mw.loader.load( xBase + '/w/index.php? ......' ); The latter has been applied to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Vector.js
