You're using MediaWiki 1.17, which is kind of old. I would recommend you upgrade.
Yep, that was one of the factors instigating my change of hosting providers in the first place. As it stands, I think this instant commons problem is the only one I'm seeing on the wiki right now, so perhaps I'll attempt an upgrade after a full backup.
- You need to tell instant commons to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. I
believe that version of MediaWiki would only use https if your site was on https, so you probably need to manually set up the foreign repo via $wgForeignFileRepos using https instead of using the default $wgUseInstantCommons. (Git change 8517b3cb2276)
I tried accessing my site with https but the image still didn't show up.
- Its recommended you install php5-curl. If you don't there's a bunch
of patches you'd have to backport to make https work properly. (See bcc31a9a0fa7 and bb2adc2394 in git)
I verified that the target machine has php5-curl installed.
