Summary: Title api calls of action=parse should probably use
POST instead of GET
Product: mwEmbed
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: Sequence editor
AssignedTo: d...@ucsc.edu
ReportedBy: hart...@videolan.org
I notice that these titles such as
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&text=%7B%7BSequenceTitleBlackBG%0A%7CTitle%3D+end+title%0A%7D%7D&title=Sequence%3ACats&format=json
currently use GET XHR calls. This should probably use POST, because of the max
size of http URIs.
"Microsoft states that the maximum length of a URL in Internet Explorer is
2,083 characters, with no more than 2,048 characters in the path portion of the
URL."
A large piece of CJK scripted text might possibly run into that limitation.
