API change will break some bots

An API change is scheduled for tomorrow (less than 24 hours from now). Bots and user scripts will not be able to use http://. They must use https:// Please read the details: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2016-May/085618.html

You can read the list of affected bots/script users at phab:T136674. If you need information to figure out which piece is using http://, then the devs can give you a user agent string and similar details from the logs. Tell me (or BBlack (WMF)) if you need more details about your bot or script.

Good luck, Whatamidoing (WMF) (overleg) 11 jul 2016 19:45 (CEST)
