Description MZMcBride 2011-02-26 21:02:02 UTC
I think it'd be nice if a URL parameter (or some other means) could control which server a page is served by. On Wikimedia wikis, sometimes there's a specific server that's problematic, and as far as I know, there isn't any way currently to tell the servers (or MediaWiki) to use a particular server when outputting a page. This can make debugging more difficult.
Comment 1 Krinkle 2011-02-26 22:23:26 UTC
Toolserver does this by allowing to call a server directly.

eg. http://wolfsbane.toolserver.org/%7Ekrinkle/wikimedia-svn-search/ or http://ortelius.toolserver.org/%7Ekrinkle/wikimedia-svn-search/

Perhaps we can do this and give them a secure.wikimedia-like url structure.


eg. http://srv158.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Main_Page
