Description Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-02-20 12:44:38 UTC
While we redirect http://wiki.gentoo.org to https://wiki.gentoo.org at server level, mails created by the Mediawiki software still contains http://wiki.gentoo.org addresses allowing MITM attacks in theory.

Please update Mediawiki settings to change default URL to https (I guess you have to touch $wgServer setting).

I think I fixed this. Can anyone do a test?
Comment 2 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-06-06 08:31:43 UTC
Doesn't work. My test test case:

1. Create a Wiki page somewhere and watch it.

2. Let someone else edit the page to get notificated.

3. Check notification mail for HTTP links (should be all HTTPS)

I got:
