Bug #: 29001
Summary: Prevent recursive loading of resources (causes endless
requests, browser crashes etc.)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Resource Loader
AssignedTo: tpars...@wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: accnospam...@yahoo.de
CC: roan.katt...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Resource Loader should keep track of resources it already has loaded to prevent
endless server requests, browser crashes, freezing sites etc.
Simple example:
[http://kamelopedia.mormo.org/index.php?title=Kamel:Nachteule/vector.js&oldid=442686]
The page ("Kamel:Nachteule/vector.js") imports itself using mw.load
Result: endless server reqests, page loading doesn't stop, browser crashes
and/or browser becomes unresponsive ...
Sure, this example ist stupid, but on complex sites, recursive loading of
things could happen.
In general it would be better if resource loader is aware of resources it
aleady has loaded, so when the same resource is referenced more than once
(through transclusion or other circumstances it will be ignored).
Sorry for my poor english ;)
