http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&titles=File:MediaWiki-sysadmins-icon.svg&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url|size&iiurlwidth=1000 This is just a totally silly return value for this API call. I mean, it makes sense with SVGs, but SVGs are the only place where this sort of response makes sense. A PNG test image successfully returns the maximum size, and the URL to the original image, for a request that goes over the limit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=File:Test.jpg&prop=imageinfo&iilimit=50&iiend=20071231235959&iiprop=url|size&indexpageids=1&format=json&iiurlwidth=1000 I'm going to fix this issue on our end, but if we could also fix the API so it doesn't give me a 50,000 pixel wide thumbnail for an SVG when I ask for it that would be FANTASTIC. (I haven't tried this yet but it seems the logical conclusion)
If it makes you feel better it will probably run out of memory before actually rendering a 50,000 pixel wide thumb out of an svg. Its expected behaviour that svgs can be resized beyond their "natural" width unlike raster images. However might make sense to have some sort of upper limit for sanity on that. From a performance prespective it probably doesnt matter that much as there are the max memory/file size/cpu time limits.

Maybe there could be a per-request "limit this to the size of the image" option that only applied to vector formats? That way we don't need to deal with it on our end, it can just be part of the normal thumbnail negotiation - "give me the thumbnail that is the same size as the original SVG".
I think this is a WONTFIX. The Parser clearly allows SVGs to be rendered above their native resolution, and that is explicitly what is being requested by the API call in the bug description. Why are you passing width=1000 if that's not what you want?
