◆ interpolateTitle()

WebRequest::interpolateTitle ( )

Check for title, action, and/or variant data in the URL and interpolate it into the GET variables.

This should only be run after the content language is available, as we may need the list of language variants to determine available variant URLs.

References $matches.

◆ isSafeRequest()

WebRequest::isSafeRequest ( )

Whether this request should be identified as being "safe".

This means that the client is not requesting any state changes and that database writes are not inherently required. Ideally, no visible updates would happen at all. If they must, then they should not be publicly attributed to the end user.

In more detail:

Cache populations and refreshes MAY occur.
Private user session updates and private server logging MAY occur.
Updates to private viewing activity data MAY occur via DeferredUpdates.
Other updates SHOULD NOT occur (e.g. modifying content assets).

Returns: bool
