More details?
Tested logged in and out. (clean cookie jar) didn't notice anything weird.

I only got about nine page checks in before it started working again, eight on PC and one on mobile, all on chrome.
It started perhaps a minute or two before 8:00, ended almost immediately after.
Can't rule out some local effect, but it did affect both iphone and desktop...

Seems to have stopped now. 2-3 min worth?
When it was happening it was affecting https traffic on chrome / windows / landline (SF Bay Area), chrome / iphone / AT&T (SF Bay Area). Was trying to test more combos but it started working again before I got data.

A change to the Apache configuration accidentally overwrote the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO server environment variable and caused MediaWiki to think that all requests were plain HTTP rather than HTTPS. This caused infinite redirects in the MediaWiki features that were intended to force HTTPS for logged-in users. I reverted the change after 3 minutes or so, following reports on IRC.
