While testing another preferences patch, I found that stock mediawiki is no longer respecting the preference to disable https after login when wgSecureLogin is set.
- User is redirected to https when they click login, and the url parameter "fromhttp=1" is added.
- User logs in (doesn't seem to matter if remember me is selected or not)
- User is logged in, and cookies are set *for encrypted connections only*
- User does *not* get a forceHTTPS cookie
- User is redirected to the https version of the page where they clicked login
Obviously, if the user types in an http:// url, they are no longer logged into the site since the cookie are set for https calls only.
CentralAuth correctly handles the preference, so most users on WMF wikis are not affected. But we should get this fixed.
