I tried to figure out how local caching for media from ForeignAPIRepo is handled, but it seems like no chached images are created using only these settings:
$wgForeignFileRepos[] = array( 'class' => 'ForeignAPIRepo', 'name' => 'shared', 'apibase' => 'http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php', 'fetchDescription' => false, // Optional 'apiThumbCacheExpiry' => 43200, );
Is there an option to switch on for local caching, or does wikmedia.org prefer supporting bandwith thefts (like me)? :-)
