Some wikis have a script like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js/secure_new.js that rewrites http to https if you logged in as https, but it is not available in all wikis.

Https is the default now. So if you make an upload link to Commons use httpS and not http, otherwise the user will get a "you're not logged in bla die bla" error message.
