As described in bug #3155 changing url structure of a site/profile will cause loosing connection with federated sites.
When you decide to start up a new instance of status.net you're not sure of all your choices.
It will bee a good thing to broadcast the update to federated sites after changing configuration. Example, switch single user to multi user or switch to always ssl.
(sorry for my english, hope it is clear)

I agree that this may be a problem. My current permanent profile url is http://freesocial.org/index.php/user/1 - which is both the 'http' scheme as well as a non-fancy url ("index.php/")
This means I can never entirely shut off http for my server, and new negotiations with servers that already have this url will fail if I attempt to change it manually to 'https'.
So how do we best solve this? Instead of returning an error, do we double-check the url to see if it's the same user? Is that done cryptographically or will the hashes depend on the permalink?
