John,
Please forgive my ignorance.
The problem seemed very similar.
We will try to follow the announcements more closely.
The idea that the scheme would change was not on our radar.

I'm not representitive of the WMF, however I do not understand why they should have
to bend over for your lack of attention to announcements for this change. Roan's live
hack to the API for the time being was very kind, however to ask the WMF tech team to
rollback the entire protocol-relative switch so you can get yourself prepared is somewhat
rude. They've been working on this for some time, and this change is depended upon by
other projects (The new SSL system)
Also, since you're not even using the API (Which is another issue in itself), why are
you even posting to mediawiki-api?

Dan,
I don't know the exact relationship between the MediaWiki work and the main Wikipedia
servers.
Here's a concrete example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
Contains:
[img alt="The two Northrop YF-23s"
src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2b/Northrop_YF-2…
width="100" height="74" /]
Or:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_station
Contains:
[img alt=""
src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.…
width="50" height="39" /]
We are not adding any extra arguments to the GET.
Is this the wrong place to be noting this new problem? I assumed that Wikipedia was
running the latest MediaWiki?
All we would need is a rollback for approx 8-10 days. We have hordes of iPad app users of
the WikiNodes app complaining that they can not see the images in the app.

As Roan said, that's already been done. Maybe
if you showed us a link
to exactly where in the API you're seeing that, we'd be able to figure
out what the problem is that you're still seeing?

side.
