Gentlemen, (a brand new thread about the version,) the challenge: get the Mediawiki version from the remote site but wasting the least amount of bytes to do so.
Currently to just get a piddly 30 bytes, "MediaWiki: 1.15alpha (r49026)", one needs at least $ set http://radioscanningtw.jidanni.org $ GET $@/api.php?version |wc -c 103251 or $ GET $@/index.php?title=Special:Version |wc -c 11197 Just to be able to pipe it to w3m -dump -T text/html|grep alpha OK, I can cheat $ GET "$@/api.php?action=query&export&exportnowrap" |wc -c 1372 and then at least get with perl -nwle '/>(.*alpha.*)</ && print $1' MediaWiki 1.15alpha _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api
