Once we have a cleaner interface for hitting the general pages (without the 'secure.wikimedia.org' crappy single host)
I'm curious...what will this cleaner interface look like? Will we be able to connect securely through https://en.wikipedia.org/?
That's the idea... This means we need SSL proxies available on all of our front-end proxies instead of just on a dedicated location, and some hoop-jumping to get certificate hostnames to match, but it's not impossible.
We did a little experimentation in '07 along these lines but just got busy with other things. :(
