Since that is basically the same as the normal Wikimedia, maybe you can add support for SSL Wikimedia?

https://secure.wikimedia.org/

This is one of my favorite scripts for Wikipedia, and I sure hope it also supports SSL Wiki.

Great idea! Done!

What about having the CSS file on your server downloaded through HTTPS? It's kind of annoying Firefox complaining that "parts of the page you are viewing were not encrypted before being transmitted over the internet".

Good idea, I'll start keeping a bug-list now that there are so many!

The new version tries to determine if it is on an https wiki and if so uses https to pull the any other external files needed by Simplepeida. You'll have to add / trust my external server, but then it should get rid of the firefox warnings you are getting.

I just found another bug concerning SSL Wikimedia, if I use the search box on the page, it doesn't work.

SSL version of Wikipedia doesn't work for me: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Foo . Everything on the bottom and side disappears except the search box, but nothing else changes.

Yikes. I'll fix that asap.

@iaindalton
Can you show us a screenshot as it works perfectly for me :)
EDIT: Seems like it affects Firefox 3 when browsing the SSL version of Wikimedia only.
It works properly when browsing the HTTP version though. hmm...

@Grant
Here are the URLs:
Correct URL: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/ind...
Incorrect URL returned by Simplepedia's search box: https://secure.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=...
You should get your own certificate, you know, if you don't I will just keep on getting a warning.

Insert SSL signing drama-bomb here :). You should be able to tell your browser to trust my self-signed certificate to make it stop warning you.

@iandalton, I think your browser is balking at using the css file hosted off-site. I will create a build script and directly embed the css in the user script.

Woo! It works beautifully now; thanks.
