He's complaining, in effect, that there are more than one URL for identical
content, which is in fact generally a bad idea, but in this case, of course,
he's wrong: different *access protocols* are being used, so it's not possible
to conform the two...
Whether it is in fact still a Best Practice to make sure that they're the
same is another matter; I understand *why* we have a separate domain name
for https, architecturally, but I'm not sure I *like* it.

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, when in fact the real site is
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page . Or is it?
In fact on any page on either site, one cannot find any link to the
corresponding page on the other site.
So now everybody will be passing around two times the amount of
links to
what in fact is the same material.
OK, I found the pattern for converting one to the other:

One would hope the owners of Wiki[pm]would redirect etc. one to the
other, to stem the proliferation of non-canonical links.
What in the Christ are you talking about?
Reading with squinted eyes and a cocked head, it sounds like you've
discovered the secure site. It's documented here:
*
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Secure_server
*
http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/secure.wikimedia.org
I have no idea what this has to do with hogtie bondage or why a post
to this
mailing list (or the gendergap mailing list, for that matter) was
necessary.
