Description:
After recent changes in HTTP/HTTPS logging in for users there's a problem*.
Google search results point to HTTP versions of articles but users are not logged in while on HTTP. This enforces users to reload page or re-log in.
I see some solution in bug 51002 ?
*)Although this also occured before but user could login via HTTP (and optionally use a DIY script in common.js to redirect to HTTPS).
Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
This bug is probably a duplicate of bug 51002, but the resolution of this one has non-trivial implications, see the on-going discussion on wikimedia-l http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.foundation/68103.
If you are already connected to Wikipedia, you should be redirected from HTTP to HTTPS if you keep checked the preference "Always use a secure connection when logged in" (1st page of preferences). Do you really have this checkbox checked? (if no, disconnect and reconnect after checking.)

Shame on it. Shame on me.
