Description Russell Blau 2009-10-20 20:57:41 UTC

The documentation for "action=upload" currently is incomplete and confusing.  The wiki page, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit_-_Uploading_files, describes an earlier proposed version of the API that is different from what is currently in the software. 

The help message (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php) contains at least one clear error: the third bullet reads '* Have the MediaWiki server fetch a file from a URL, using the "url" and "asyncdownload" parameters'; but "asyncdownload" does not appear in the list of accepted parameters.

Comment 1 Michael Dale 2009-10-20 21:11:13 UTC

The asyncdownload is related to the temporary variable: $wgEnableAsyncDownload
which was set to "false"  since it background tasks were not support in windows
... but I believe we can depreciate that as a fix for background task was made
for windows?

I have made the documentation at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit_-_Uploading_files somewhat more up to date. Some information is still missing, partly as I haven't successfully tested the relevant functionality yet.
