[Mediawiki-l] $wgDisableCookieCheck

[Tim Miller]

I'm currently trialling the SecurePages extension (formerly httpsLogin) 
to force a https connection for Special:Userlogin and then redirect to 
http for normal usage of the wiki. By default the extension sets 
$wgCookieSecure to false since MediaWiki obviously can't read cookies 
set with the secure flag when not using an encrypted connection.

I'm curious whether anyone has any input on the security implications of 
using $wgDisableCookieCheck instead of disabling $wgCookieSecure.

Thanks,
Tim.
