Description Smallman 2011-10-26 14:32:35 UTC 
The edit api should accept multipart/form-data rather than just application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

The encoding of large articles can needlessly double the post, while also requiring additional encoding/decoding processing.
Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2011-10-26 14:34:44 UTC 
Have you tried to see if it supports multipart/form-data now? This seems to be a PHP issue to me, not a MediaWiki issue per se.
Comment 2 Smallman 2011-10-26 16:06:32 UTC 
I just tried and it works! 

Will update API:Edit that large text files should be done via multipart as opposed to urlencoded.
