The proposal is to continue to redirect everything *except* API requests, but to allow the API requests to complete and run as though they were requested on commons.wikimedia.org. This would create a new local session cookie on commons.wikipedia.org based on the *.wikipedia.org CentralAuth session cookie, but this should be harmless (roughly equivalent to logging into Commons on two browsers at once). Of course, in order to use the same functionality on Wikisource, Wikiversity, Wikivoyage, mediawiki.org etc we'd need similar alternate commons subdomains under those domains. -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
