@WMDE-Fisch This is going to be relevant for you too... GET for pdfs will be huge (but maybe we can carve that out specifically?)

Mvolz renamed T438741: Reconsider HEAD checks in citoid from Retry with GET after certain failed HEAD checks in citoid to Reconsider HEAD checks in citoid.
Mvolz added a comment to T438741: Reconsider HEAD checks in citoid.
It turns out that for biodiversitylibrary, they return a 302 and not >400 so this solution does not work for them either. It's kind of looking like we should, for the time being, go back to using HEAD and possibly in the future move some of this logic into the Zotero fork.

Just for context how this was created, we have production logs that show real errors that production is actually encountering. https://logstash.wikimedia.org/app/dashboards#/view/5eaf4e40-f6b6-11eb-85b7-9d1831ce7631

Mvolz added a comment to T438740: Add cache to citoid in api gateway.
Thanks, a follow up on the weird behaviour - I'm not sure it should have it's own ticket! But actually, a cache wouldn't have helped in this case after all :/. It turns out the url I thought was the "same" were all slightly different, it was cycling through different dates. There was only one duplicate.
Mvolz added a comment to T239713: Citoid is logging all request / response headers as separate fields.
Not sure when this got fixed but doesn't seem to happen anymore. Still not on ECS but we'll get there... eventually... in T409432

Thanks, I was waiting to hear the results of the discussion from api-platform before starting on implementation - did there ever end up being a discussion about this? What was the outcome?

Mvolz added a comment to T438425: mediawiki-basefields and wikibase formats 500 on item types missing from the vendored Zotero schema.
Plausibly dupe of T383668, but I hadn't thought through the implications to these formats.

Deployed, with OpenLibrary at lowest priority, and also thank you to Library of Congress for giving us higher rate limits which made this less risky :).

Mvolz added a comment to T242089: Consider keeping user entered URL and removing tracking parameters.
We currently fallback on user entered urls if the canonical one doesn't exist, so we should still implement some at least rudimentary form of tracking parameter removal at present regardless. There are also some libraries now that do this, i.e. but would need security approval I think i.e. https://github.com/ClearURLs/Rules

Ticket above says it's about bullseye and because it's EOL, but above is bookworm and I have builds failing on trixie, too... both gitlab and gerrit...
