I don't really like the idea of dropping it, unless our detection of it not working really does suck. Moving servers is going to break things no matter what. This is especially true now that $wgServer is set explicitly instead of auto-detected. If we're worried about auto-detection failing, we could do better auto-detection in the install script ( Make an ajax request to some script /mw-config/path_info.php/test and see if it can properly extract the path info). -bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
