Summary: Image scaling given only the height does not seem to
work
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: API
AssignedTo: [email protected]

The API does not seem to allow any way to retrieve a thumb url for an image
given only its height and no width specified.
For instance, accessing the following URL:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=xml&titles=File:Flag+of+Spain.svg&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=dimensions|url&iiurlheight=28
gives the following XML response:
<api>
<error code="iiiiurlwidth" info="iiurlheight cannot be used without
iiurlwidth"/>
</api>
How, therefore, could one retrieve a thumb url for an image given the height to
scale to, without specifying the width ? An example of such a situation would
be when parsing the following snippet of wikitext:
[[Image:Flag of Spain.svg |x28px]] - here only the height is specified, thus an
image of the flag of Spain should be retrieved having the height set to 28
pixels and the width scaled accordingly.
