Reader reads a page offline
Closed, ResolvedPublic5 Estimated Story Points

Description

"As a Reader, I want to get a page and its contents, so that I can read it whenever I want."

This is the most basic reading use case, retrieving the metadata about the page and the page text in HTML form in a single request. There are optimizations that work better when the reader is online and using a browser or native HTML widget that can load an HTML stream directly; see the related "Reader reads a page online" user story T234377.

Event Timeline

I'm not crazy about "with_html". Happy to get suggestions for a better way to express this.

I removed the caching headers, and brought the output in line with the schema.

I added the content_model output.

This is tracked as "waiting for review", but I see no open patches. Is this done? What is missing?
