I've added Dmitry and Bernd to this thread. Guys, you probably want to get on this list if you're not already on it.

Here's the iOS part for refreshing (patches 1, 2, 3, 4). Suppose I have "Derek Charke" and "Darya Khan railway station" in my Saved pages list. Then when I tap the refresh button, the following requests are made automatically, with a User-Agent header of the following form:

User-Agent: WikipediaApp/4.0.7 (iPhone OS 8.2; Phone)


Requests...these use the ArticleFetcher class, which is the same class used for fetching articles even outside of a Saved pages refresh (i.e., garden variety article browsing).

(What I'd like from the Apps team to make this as efficient as possible:

1. Example URLs/UAs for each possible permutation
{{sections=0,sections=all}{iOS/Android}};
2. An idea (as suggested by Dan) of what the auto-update will mean. Is
Adam on this list or should I reach out distinctly?)
3. Links to the pertinent gerrit patches that instituted the
auto-update thing and the iOS bugfix, so I can establish (in the logs
of the pageview def update) what the timeline is/was like here.
