Hi, All!

I found a very strange thing about the continue tokens:

The link is here:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=xml&revids=37692183&cllimit=max&iiprop=bitdepth%7Cdimensions%7Cmime%7Csha1%7Csize%7Curl&prop=categories%7Cimageinfo%7Cinfo%7Crevisions&rvprop=comment%7Ccontent%7Cflags%7Cids%7Ctimestamp%7Cuser&continue=

I got the following response:

<continue continue="||categories|info|revisions" iistart="2006-10-05T10:33:30Z"/>

</api>

I found there was a continue token at the end of the response, Then I use:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=xml&revids=37692183&cllimit=max&iiprop=bitdepth%7Cdimensions%7Cmime%7Csha1%7Csize%7Curl&prop=categories%7Cimageinfo%7Cinfo%7Crevisions&rvprop=comment%7Ccontent%7Cflags%7Cids%7Ctimestamp%7Cuser&continue=||categories|info|revisions&iistart=2006-10-05T10:33:30Z

to get the following response:

<api>

<limits categories="500"/>

<query>

<pages>

<page pageid="1246719" ns="6" title="File:AB towns+names.png" imagerepository="local">

</imageinfo>

</page>

</pages>

</query>

<continue continue="||categories|info|revisions" iistart="2006-10-04T23:32:38Z"/>

</api>

I found in the response we didn't have the revisions information any more.

I think this may be a bug? Because I found if we set clcontinue to request the following page, the response will not miss the revisions information.

P.S. Another question: Are the items in imageinfo list sorted by timestamp? I mean from latest to oldest.

Thanks.
