HTTP request on HTTPS translatewiki.net

Translatewiki automaticaly redirects me to https after I log in through http. Yes, I found out right now that I can change https: to http: after login and am still normally logged in. So this should solve problem... but not entirely.

Browser is not stupid. I tested behaviour of some browsers in this case:

  • Internet Explorer 8 displays warning message (that you can't disable): you can choose if you want to load http requests or not.
  • Firefox 15.0.1 displays warning message (if you haven't disabled it yet) that it will load http requests regardless of what you want.
  • Opera 12.02 silently loads http content after few seconds (you can see that word "Secure" (in front of URL) changes to "Web" after a while).

So, Internet Explorer 8 is the only one that respects secure connection completely... at least in this case.

Gah, I believe forceful https redirection after login is a bug in MediaWiki.
