Include a User-Agent header equivalent to the cURL one; this also is needed
when fetching export pages from Wikipedia, as we currently block the default
PHP user-agent string...
- don't redirect page views on POST
- Special:Export shouldn't do POST special case when page name provided
- Special:Import should use POST for interwiki fetches
* Made autoloader work for unserialize()
* Made XmlFunctions.php and HttpFunctions.php autoloadable modules, via Http:: and Xml::
* Made Image class autoloadable, global functions moved to ImageFunctions.php where they can be loaded on every invocation.
* Removed some unnecessary require_once() calls
* Deferred $wgValidSkinNames initialisation
* Fixed a couple of silly construct/initialise splits. My idea from C++ experience, bad practice in PHP.
* Deferred skin initialisation in ParserOptions
* Removed $wgMwRedir during an attempt to make MagicWord autoloadable. Didn't complete that, but removing the global is still the right direction.
* remove require_once() throughout whole code, yet left in few places
* move global functions in HttpUtils, ProxyTools, Credits to class methods
* php5 only: __autoload() now used, combined with class->file map and require()
* move initialization of $wgValidSkinNames to Skin::getSkinNames()
* few more changes that will surely break stuff.
* allow interwiki {{subst:...}} using action=raw fetches
* Allowed non-MSIE browsers to access action=raw via the article alias. This is necessary to allow action=raw transclusion, since the only known URL is the article path, not the script path.
* Specify a user agent in wfGetHttp() fetches, when using curl.
* Added transcache table to tables.sql, it was in the updater but not there for some reason.
* Fixed transcache expiry, added option
* Allow interwiki transclusion outside the template namespace using leading colon syntax. Syntax is counterintuitive at times, e.g. to subst the wikipedia main page you would use {{subst::Wikipedia:Main_Page}} not {{subst:Wikipedia::Main_Page}}.
