Afraid not. We have to change hardcoded http:// prefixes in a million
different places, see
http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Https#Protocol-relative_URLs . The
logos are largely monkey work (regex them, then get a team to verify
100s of hopefully-not-broken logos), but other things are much more
sensitive. It'd suck to break the setting that determines where the
uploaded files on Commons live
(
http://upload.wikimedia.org/site/lang/etc) or where our static assets
and RL things are served from (bits), especially if broken URLs get
cached in Squid and/or memcached. This is why we're scheduling this
thing this far out when Ryan and I will both be available to very
carefully go about this.
