When trying to upload an image from flickr to commons via [[Special UploadWizard/Flickr]] using http, when we add the image link to the "Get from Flickr", it goes to the next step but the image just keeps on loading (in a loop).... it doesn't go any further ..only affects http version, not the https one.. The web console for the browser shows this: GET https://api.flickr.com/services/rest/ [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 3453ms] GET https://api.flickr.com/services/rest/ [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 1282ms] GET http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 2064ms] GET https://api.flickr.com/services/rest/ [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 547ms] GET http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 985ms] POST http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php [HTTP/1.1 504 Gateway Time-out 10433ms]
At a glance, this seems like an upload error which is not related to Flickr. Can you reproduce with the same file? Can you reproduce with a file from a different Flickr user?
it worked with a different flickr user GET https://api.flickr.com/services/rest/ [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 3597ms] GET https://api.flickr.com/services/rest/ [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 1142ms] GET https://api.flickr.com/services/rest/ [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 1175ms] POST http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 11281ms] GET http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 817ms] ^^ GET http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadStash/thumb/12h8xso51xgc.l7uzmb.1129056.jpg/100px-12h8xso51xgc.l7uzmb.1129056.jpg [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 2064ms]
And with the original user it fails all the time? Maybe the user is blacklisted and the error message about the blacklist is not returned for some reason? The blacklist is at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:FlickreviewR/bad-authors
tried it with multiple others, seems to be be affecting one user who releases all his images under (cc-by-sa) and no he is not blacklisted, probably one of the only few to release their images fully on flickr.. did the same test on test.wikipedia.org using http, same outcome GET https://api.flickr.com/services/rest/ [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 1471ms] GET https://api.flickr.com/services/rest/ [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 905ms] GET https://api.flickr.com/services/rest/ [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 557ms] POST http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php [HTTP/1.1 504 Gateway Time-out 11060ms] ^ Request URL: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php Request Method: POST Status Code: HTTP/1.1 504 Gateway Time-out
It works for me https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kitten_with_laptop_-_278017185.jpg. Can you pls clear your browser cache and try again?
Its still a problem, when on http (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard), it refuses to upload most images, it goes on a loop, nothing to do with vrowser cache, more to do with being unable to converts https API link to http .. web console data for "POST" (http://pastebin.com/HfbLGEXm)
