Summary: Missing chomp control for YAML literals
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=site
info&format=yamlfm
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: API
AssignedTo: roan.katt...@gmail.com
ReportedBy: bjo...@hoehrmann.de
CC: bryan.tongm...@gmail.com, vasi...@gmail.com,
soxre...@gmail.com
The API output for the cited URL goes like this:
query:
general:
mainpage: |
Wikipedia:Hauptseite
base: |
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Hauptseite
sitename: Wikipedia
generator: MediaWiki 1.16alpha-wmf
phpversion: 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.7wm1
phpsapi: apache2handler
dbtype: mysql
dbversion: 5.1.33-log
rev: 59858
case: first-letter

For the "base" and "rights" properties (and others like it) this causes the
trailing new line to be included in the property value (so you get
"http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Hauptseite\n";). This should instead use
the "strip" chomp control ("-"), like so:
query:
general:
mainpage: |-
Wikipedia:Hauptseite
base: |-
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Hauptseite
sitename: Wikipedia
generator: MediaWiki 1.16alpha-wmf
phpversion: 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.7wm1
phpsapi: apache2handler
dbtype: mysql
dbversion: 5.1.33-log
rev: 59858
case: first-letter
rights: >-
