http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/REST#The_ask_Action for a specification of the
protocol.

Ask.php - proof of concept

This patch is very basic, it would probably need a few changes, especially with
regards to security. Also, many interresting things can not yet be queried,
because the respective classes do not implement the methods needed.

To enable this ask action, put the following into LocalSettings.php:

  include "includes/Ask.php";
  $wgHooks['UnknownAction'][] = 'wfAskHook';

Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2005-10-13 19:59:53 UTC

Badly coupled to the internal object structure. An interface needs to be an external 
layer.
