Bug #: 28541
Summary: api can't output binary data, like icu sortkeys
Product: MediaWiki
Version: wikimedia-deployment
Platform: All
URL:
http://translatewiki.net/w/api.php?action=query&list=c
ategorymembers&cmprop=sortkey&cmtitle=Category:User%20
en&cmlimit=1
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Low
Component: API
AssignedTo: roan.katt...@gmail.com
ReportedBy: bawolff...@gmail.com
CC: bryan.tongm...@gmail.com, s...@reedyboy.net,

Classification: Unclassified
When doing an api query that could return binary data (icu sortkeys for
example), if the binary data isn't valid utf-8 (which will happen most of the
time) it will output an empty string instead.
For example:
http://translatewiki.net/w/api.php?action=query&list=categorymembers&cmprop=sortkey&cmtitle=Category:User%20en&cmlimit=1
Expected output is a big long binary string.
This is rather confusing when trying to debug stuff, although arguably much of
the time this behaviour does kind of make sense. Anyways, caused by
ApiResult::cleanUpUTF8.
