thumb.php uses hook ExtractThumbParameters instead of the relavent MediaHandler::parseParamString
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

thump.php seems to use its own hook for parsing image param string (Introduced dcbe8e7dd3), instead of using the media handlers parseParamString method. This is confusing, and I'm not sure why it does this.

At the moment, wfExtractThumbParams() just takes a string and then does stuff to that string -- it's very lightweight. I guess that's why they didn't go for fancy MIME detection/object instantiation which might be memory intensive.

Also, the Apache code for redirecting requests for non-existent thumbs to thumb.php will need to be adjusted; AFAIK at the moment it includes a manual list of permutations.

...or maybe not, if that's what rewrite.py does. Not sure to be honest, bit out of my depth.
