The fix Roan applied only deals with the API and action=parse, not the normal frontend.

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-23_DFRC.jpg/100px-Northrop_YF-23_DFRC.jpg" 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.svg/50px-Question_book-new.svg.png" 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.

Michael
