Screenshot of JavaScript errors produced by action=raw when viewing a regular
page
When the database is unavailable, action=edit and other actions that use the
master database produce a "Database error" page with the famous text:
> Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.
> [search]
etc.
However for for action=raw&ctype=text/javascript this shouldn't happen.
Just like it has a special casing to output /* Empty */ in certain cases, it
should output a comment instead of an HTML error page so that there are no
javascript errors like this.
Aside from the broader issue, specifically in case of a db-master failure one
could consider to use the slave DB for this, but that may not be a good idea
since action=raw should always output the latest content and should be reliable
to use as input for editing (which is what it was originally intended for).
