Description

From bug 13049 comment 11:

Same problem as #10: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/api.php
returns HTTP 403 ("Forbidden") -- just started as an issue today, as a
scheduled script ran without errors less than six hours ago.

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
URL: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/api.php

• bzimport raised the priority of this task from to Medium.Nov 21 2014, 10:41 PM

• bzimport set Reference to bz19263.

• bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

Fixed with a live hack:

if ($secure) {
$url = "/$site/$lang$url";
}
