Serve cache control headers for static resources on paymentswiki
Open, MediumPublic2 Estimated Story Points

Description

For example, https://payments.wikimedia.org/extensions/DonationInterface/gateway_forms/includes/card-visa.png

Response headers are,

Accept-Ranges: bytes
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 19112
Content-Type: image/png
Date: Thu, 01 Oct 2015 19:19:50 GMT
Etag: "241706-4aa8-50931bfc59dc0"
Last-Modified: Tue, 02 Dec 2014 01:35:59 GMT
Server: nginx
strict-transport-security: max-age=15552000

Without a cache-control header, the browser has to make a request for all the images and wait for the HTTP 304 response when the page is reloaded.

Going to the static resources https://donate.wikimedia.org/static/images/project-logos/donatewiki.png the response headers include a line
cache-control: max-age=31536000

Hence assuming this is resolved. If I misunderstood, please reopen. (Also, this task should not have been marked as "stalled" because there is no reason provided.)

(Ah, though not sure if donate.wikimedia.org == payments.wikimedia.org? I got redirected...)

@Aklapper donate.wikimedia.org is a production-cluster wiki that hosts fundraising-related landing pages, thank you pages, and first-step donation forms with suggested amounts. The donor can choose an amount and a general payment method (card/paypal/bank transfer) and is then redirected to payments-wiki.

payments.wikimedia.org is hosted on the fundraising cluster 'frack' and is in PCI-scope (meaning access is much more restricted). It shouldn't be a wiki at all, but because the DonationInterface code was written as a MediaWiki extension it is. DonationInterface collects the donor's personal information and then shows them the card entry or other payment-processor hosted form via iframe or redirect. When the donor returns from the payment processor we finish the transaction on payments-wiki then redirect the donor to the thank you page hosted on donate-wiki.

If you navigate directly to payments-wiki without the querystring values necessary to initiate a payment, you are redirected to the initial forms on donate-wiki.

The payments-wiki headers still don't include cache-control. Reopening.

There's a new path for the image: https://payments.wikimedia.org/extensions/DonationInterface/gateway_forms/includes/card-visa-lg.png
