Pages with special characters no longer work after switching to SSL

Hello, after switching to SSL, pages with special characters no longer work. The error message is "The page isn’t redirecting properly". This error occurs independent from the browser (tested Firefox and Edge) and independent from used PC. And this error occurs independent from namespace.

The German language wiki is https://inklupedia.de/

You can reproduce the error by opening e.g.

- https://inklupedia.de/wiki/N%c3%bcrnberg

- https://inklupedia.de/wiki/Spezial:Letzte_%c3%84nderungen

Pages without special characters are working as expected. If you need more information to help, please ask or contact me at inklupedia@inklupedia.de

Installed is MediaWiki 1.26.2 and PHP 5.6.27 (cgi-fcgi). More information are available at https://inklupedia.de/wiki/Spezial:Version

Thank you

Frank

This looks like task T131414, fixed in task T106793, should land on 1.27.2 when it comes out (I don't know when). 1.26 is becoming obsolete in 2 days so it won't have any fix for that.

That's a strange situation, where it's fixed in master and backported, but nobody is doing a release of 1.27 with all the backports since june... I wonder what are they waiting for doing a new release. You may bring this to mediawiki-l.
