Regarding the change from "http://" to "//", this also broke our iOS app, WikiNodes. Our popular Wikipedia browser app is now nonfunctional.
We'd be grateful if you could roll back the change for approx 10 days. We can submit an update to the Apple App Store on Monday, which will then take 7 days to be approved. If you could postpone this change until 10-October, we can fix the code on our side.
Thanks,

Hi Roan,
Thanks for your reply. Sorry... I might be a day out of date here. All I know is that our app is now broken, and pages like the Wikipedia home page have:
[img alt="A sky filled with many types of cirrus clouds" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2e/CirrusField-color.jpg/100px-CirrusField-color.jpg" width="100" height="75" /]
Which breaks our parsing.
Can this be reverted to "http://" instead of "//" for ~10 days?

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?

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.

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?

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.
