Bug ID: 64508
Summary: Add a Maxlag header
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: API
Assignee: [email protected]

As API user it is confusing, if I had to mix API payload with request handling
(retry) params
e.G.:
HEADER: User-Agent:... [email protected] ...
HEADER: Accept-Encoding: gzip
HEADER: Accept: application/json
REQUEST: api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&maxlag=5
says:My client is written by "[email protected]", it will accept gziped json
respones and send you a GET with request: give me the siteinfo of the wiki
please (and btw: my client supports wikipedia maxlag request throttleing)
...
What do you think about:
HEADER: X-Accept-MediaWiki:maxlag
says:My client .... will accept correct retry handling of responses with
Statuscode 200 or 503 with headers:
MediaWiki-API-Error: maxlag (optional)
Retry-After: [0-9]+
X-Database-Lag: [0-9]+
