Hi everyone,

It appears that since today, the "iiurlwidth" and "iiurlheight" parameters of the query API / imageinfo are ignored and these elements are missing from the returned XML:

- thumburl

- thumbwidth

- thumbheight

The doc still says:

  iiurlwidth     - If iiprop=url is set, a URL to an image scaled to this width will be returned.
                   Only the current version of the image can be scaled
                   Default: -1
  iiurlheight    - Similar to iiurlwidth. Cannot be used without iiurlwidth
                   Default: -1

I don't remember seeing any "BREAKING CHANGE" email on this list about this: did I miss anything?

In any case, this breaks badly our free Discover app for iPad which had close to 1,000,000 downloads and a ton of enthusiastic users (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id384224429?mt=8). Any help on what's happening would be very valuable. Thanks in advance!

PS: Sample API request done by the app and observed result:
