Description Michael M. 2011-10-13 10:16:56 UTC

Both
Link]]﷒1">https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/api.php?action=parse&text=[[Link]]﷒1﷓
and
Link]]﷒3">https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&text=[[Link]]﷒3﷓
create a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link and get the file from http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Example.jpg
Instead the link and the file should point to the secure site.

Works me me right now. Produces relative paths for internal links (/wiki/Foo and /wikipedia/en/wiki/Foo) and protocol-relative urls for files on Commons (//upload.wikimedia.org //commons.wikimedia.org) – just like the way it's parsed for saved articles.

Marking WORKSFORME, re-open if problems is back.

Comment 2 Helder 2011-10-13 21:54:47 UTC

For the record: some days ago this bug was affecting scripts such as this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Js/ajaxPreview.js#.5BBUG.5D_AJAX_preview_is_different_from_what_is_saved

but it is in fact working as expected at the moment.

Comment 3 Michael M. 2011-10-14 08:19:15 UTC

The link (including the link to the file description page) is document relative now, but the file itself still has http://upload.wikimedia.org as source.
Since bugzilla doesn't like the links you must put them together yourself:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&text=
where the text to parse is [[Link]][[File:Example.jpg]].
Parsing [[File:Example.jpg|thumb]] also loads the magnify-clip.png from http://bits.wikimedia.org

Confirmed in the attached URL.

Comment 5 Michael M. 2011-10-21 09:46:05 UTC

I can't reproduce the bug any longer, all the links are relative now.

Comment 6 Roan Kattouw 2011-10-25 15:08:46 UTC

This "bug" was actually a workaround for an issue in iOS mobile clients. It was prominently announced on the mediawiki-api-announce mailing list. If you maintain software that uses the API, you should follow that mailing list.
