No, we are talking about url-downloader.wikimedia.org proxy. I believe the proxy is used as a security measure (not 100% sure against what, but isolating user trigerrable http downloads is probably just a goodvidea in general) > The deeper issue is, then, that we don't have a method for upload-by-url > that's not limited by the timeout (unlike normal uploads, where we have the > chunked upload API)? Yes. We used to have an async mode, but its disabled and possibly has issues (not sure what exactly). We may be able to ease issue by increasing various timeouts or removing the restriction against using tool labs (which afaik has a really fast link to production, being in same data centre and all), but ultimately to truly fix this we would need to reserurecte async mode (otoh i have no idea how that would tie in with current UI. But current ui sucks a lot so i suppose it wouldnt matter much) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
