the wikipedia layer does not work

[stevo01]

sample: https://map.openseamap.org/?zoom=10&lat=49.48953&lon=11.22642&layers=BFTFFFTFFTT0FFFFFFFFFF

[stevo01]

api/proxy-wikipedia.php seems to be responsible to fetch data from https://tools.wmflabs.org/

a manual call of "https://map.openseamap.org/api/proxy-wikipedia.php" shows

[stevo01]

analysis in webbrowser shows that url "https://tools.wmflabs.org/wp-world/marks.php" is redirected to "https://wp-world.toolforge.org/marks.php "

the following patch is a workaround for the problem:

diff --git a/api/proxy-wikipedia.php b/api/proxy-wikipedia.php

Proposal: make the php code more robust and follow redirections ...

Thanks a lot @stevo01.

Of course a good idea but do we realy (still) need this proxy script? With modern javascript we should do the request directly from the users browser and get data directly. CORS needs to be configured properly at the destination server to allow this.

I totally agree. We should not waste time with beautification of the php code ...
