Summary: Large participation overwhelms the vote dump functions
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: SecurePoll
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The licensing update poll had 17000+ ballots certified.
Each ballot generated an encrypted block approximately 1.8 kB in size. This
resulted in a 30 MB vote dump that timed out repeatedly both on attempts to
download and upload.
This could be avoided by taking steps such as using php's set_execution_time to
limit the possibility of timeouts during this process. Another possibility for
download is to generate the file, save it to local disk, and then present a
link to that file so the download isn't done in a script.
Admittedly most ballots may have much lower participation, so this may not be a
frequent problem.
