hi, I'm a developer at Mozilla and I have a patch [1] that would switch Firefox's Wikipedia search box from HTTP to HTTPS.
Who would be an appropriate technical contact at Wikimedia that I can coordinate with? Is this a change Wikimedia would welcome? Or would the increased SSL server load be an undue burden for Wikimedia? Just to be clear, this change would only affect Firefox users who search Wikipedia using Firefox's search box.
A few months ago, Mozilla switched Firefox 14 (currently in Beta) to use Google's HTTPS search [2]. If I check in my Wikipedia patch soon, the change would ride Firefox's Nightly, Aurora, and Beta release channels [3] and be released to the general public in Firefox 16 (October 2012).
Please don't do so. HTTPS is a new service, and we haven't properly load tested it yet. The first target for production load testing is for logged-in users.
I'm not opposed to the change completely, but I'd prefer to let you guys know when we're ready.
Thanks,
- Ryan
