I like having a fallback. I wonder if we actually want to introduce a "we're mid updates flag" that we turn on and only in that case we do we do the API lookup.
Not for this PR though!

Good idea, as these requests probably won't get cached, as nginx does. But also shouldnt be a problem, as OAuth requests shouldn't happen too often I suppose

I was looking at this whole curl thing and then trying to parse the headers of response and tried to see if there was a less complicated way. I think an alternative could be:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-headers.php
Does this look like a suitable alternative to you? I think we'd set url parameter to 'http://' . self::platformApiBackendHost . '/backend/ingress/getWikiVersionForDomain?domain=' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] and probably associative to true.
I think we'd then be able to directly access X-Version: header from the array. Does that sound right? I didn't go and try this.
Not blocking if you don't like this approach for some reason

incredible, how did i not know about this function? seems much more solid to me, thank you.

hahah! I didn't know about it either; I went hunting because I was scared to click approve on the string parsing of headers and all the curl setup I didn't really understand quickly without a ton of tests :P

looks good to me; in the absence of a test system let see if this works on staging 👀

An example of how the routing to the right mediawiki version backend could happen via the API in magnustools.
