Periodically seen on TWN: /w/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=site&only=scripts&skin=modern&version=1970-01-01T00%3A00%3A00Z: Exception: DatabaseBase::makeList: empty input Stack trace: #2 /www/w/includes/ResourceLoader.php(75): DatabaseBase->select('module_deps', Array, Array, 'ResourceLoader:...') #3 /www/w/includes/ResourceLoader.php(294): ResourceLoader::preloadModuleInfo(Array, Object(ResourceLoaderContext)) #4 /www/w/load.php(48): ResourceLoader::respond(Object(ResourceLoaderContext)) All such exceptions I've seen happen with the Modern skin.
The crucial point here seems to be that the request really contains & instead of &.
[19:44:20] <MaxSem> Nikerabbit, can you check server logs if their user agents are the same? [19:46:24] <+Nikerabbit> MaxSem: firefox [19:46:29] <MaxSem> ugh [19:46:54] *rakkaus* [01-Oct-2010 15:46:48] /w/load.php?debug=false&lang=pt-br&modules=translate-css&only=styles&skin=modern&version=20100909T150640Z: Exception: DatabaseBase::makeList: empty input [19:47:07] <+Nikerabbit> MaxSem: referer is http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&task=untranslated&group=ext-0-wikimedia&language=rue&limit=1000 [19:47:31] <+Nikerabbit> okay that one was ie 6.0 [19:47:41] <MaxSem> every page seems to generate this very link [19:47:55] <+Nikerabbit> referer http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Portal:Th [20:35:56] <MaxSem> I think I can fix this bug, but I would like to narrow down the cause of such broken requests [20:37:23] <+Nikerabbit> MaxSem: broken clients most likely [20:37:36] <MaxSem> FF is broken? [20:37:39] MaxSem doubts [20:38:05] <+Nikerabbit> can't think of any other good explanation [20:38:34] <MaxSem> and this happens only with modern skin [20:48:48] <+Nikerabbit> MaxSem: are you sure? [20:48:58] <+Nikerabbit> it's the default skin [20:54:11] <MaxSem> http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:UserOptionStats/skin [20:54:21] <MaxSem> it's popular but not universally used [21:01:10] <MaxSem> all such errors I've found in my IRC logs are for modern [21:01:50] <MaxSem> mhm [21:04:50] <MaxSem> I vaguely recall I had problems with css/js not loading some time before. not sure if they disappeared after I switched from modern to vector [21:05:04] <MaxSem> could be due to this bug [21:05:49] <+Nikerabbit> I doubt that, we've had many other problems too
I've went ahead and plugged this hole in r74139.
