We switched to Labs hoping that it would bring us HTTPS, but apparently not.
I created an instance with this enabled:
But Firefox says "Unable to connect": https://i-000008da.pmtpa-proxy.wmflabs.org
Am I missing something? What should I do to allow visitors to connect via SSL?
Version: unspecified
Severity: major

Nope, HTTPS is currently unsupported on labs. Work is currently underway to rectify/improve this situation.
Someone who is actually directly involved in making this work should be able to give you a suggested timeframe till it should work.
Sam, thanks for confirming the problem!
Could you please switch this report from UNCONFIRMED to CONFIRMED?
Thanks!
Also: Marking as major, as it makes Wikivoyage's dynamic maps unusable for most users (they don't notice the SSL mixed-protocol icon, and just see a blank square where the map should be).
We have a new dynamic proxy that has HTTPS and also allows you to have a nice DNS name that doesn't include instance-proxy. I'll ping yuvi, who's managing this, tomorrow.

For the records, this was also discussed in https://de.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Benutzer_Diskussion:Mey2008#PoiMap2.2C_https_and_Firefox_23
I'm not sure I understand but https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/pcount works just fine.

Question: why is a separate instance required? I would have thought that hosting it at a page like tools.wmflabs.org/wikivoyage/poimap would work.
@torty: I would be glad to use the place you mention if someone grants me read/write access to it.
Anywhere is fine as long as it can run our PHP script over HTTPS.
@Cyberpower678: Interesting! Any idea how they achieved this?
@Ryan: Any news about the dynamic proxy?

Well I achieved it by simply tossing it into the public_html folder and going to that address with https. Nothing special to it.
Do you mean you created a "public_html" folder in your user home?
I have no such folder here, so I have put everything in /var/www and it mostly works (for a few hours before becoming 404, see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54059 different problem)
I guess these pages could use more detailed explanations:

No. It should already be there. xtools runs on the tools instance.

What's the status on this ticket? Is this something I can work on? (I am a new volunteer).
This has been fixed now. If you are using your own instance, use Special:NovaProxy on wikitech to create a https enabled proxy. If you're using toollabs, you already have https.
