I've been working with a number of colleagues getting ready to turn HTTPS
on by default for various
loc.gov domains. This has been fairly successful
and we're working through the old legacy apps now.
When that work completes, we'll have somewhere around half a million links
which differ only in the URL scheme. What would be the best way to rewrite
all of those URLs? I'd like to reduce the window during which users transit
from HTTPS -> HTTP -> HTTPS.
If anyone's curious, I've been collecting the links for a few dozen wikis
in a somewhat oversized Git repo:
https://github.com/acdha/lc-wikipedia-links
The first site which has completely migrated is the much smaller World
Digital Library which has just under four thousand links:
