◆ canonicalizeIPv6LoopbackAddress()

static WebRequest::canonicalizeIPv6LoopbackAddress ( $ip)

Definition at line 1350 of file WebRequest.php.

◆ detectProtocol()

static WebRequest::detectProtocol ( )

Detect the protocol from $_SERVER.

This is for use prior to Setup.php, when no WebRequest object is available. At other times, use the non-static function getProtocol().

Returns
string

Definition at line 311 of file WebRequest.php.

◆ detectServer()

static WebRequest::detectServer ( $assumeProxiesUseDefaultProtocolPorts = null)
static

Work out an appropriate URL prefix containing scheme and host, based on information detected from $_SERVER.

Parameters
bool | null$assumeProxiesUseDefaultProtocolPortsWhen the wiki is running behind a proxy and this is set to true, assumes that the proxy exposes the wiki on the standard ports (443 for https and 80 for http). Added in 1.38. Calls without this argument are supported for backwards compatibility but deprecated.
Returns
string

Definition at line 263 of file WebRequest.php.

◆ extractTitle()

static WebRequest::extractTitle ( $path,
$bases,
$key = false )
static

URL rewriting function; tries to extract page title and, optionally, one other fixed parameter value from a URL path.

Parameters
string$pathThe URL path given from the client
array$basesOne or more URLs, optionally with $1 at the end
string | false$keyIf provided, the matching key in $bases will be passed on as the value of this URL parameter
Returns
array Array of URL variables to interpolate; empty if no match

Definition at line 402 of file WebRequest.php.

References $base, $matches, and $path.

◆ getAcceptLang()

WebRequest::getAcceptLang ( )

Returns
array [ languageCode => q-value ] sorted by q-value in descending order then appearing time in the header in ascending order. May contain the "language" '*', which applies to languages other than those explicitly listed.

This logic is aligned with RFC 7231 section 5 (previously RFC 2616 section 14), at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-5.3.5.

Earlier languages in the list are preferred as per the RFC 23282 extension to HTTP/1.1, at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3282.

Referenced by wasPosted().

◆ getPathInfo()

static WebRequest::getPathInfo ( $want = 'all')
staticprotected

Extract relevant query arguments from the http request uri's path to be merged with the normal php provided query arguments.

Tries to use the REQUEST_URI data if available and parses it according to the wiki's configuration looking for any known pattern.

If the REQUEST_URI is not provided we'll fall back on the PATH_INFO provided by the server if any and use that to set a 'title' parameter.

This internal method handles many odd cases and is tailored specifically for used by WebRequest::interpolateTitle, for index.php requests. Consider using WebRequest::getRequestPathSuffix for other path-related use cases.

Parameters
string$wantIf this is not 'all', then the function will return an empty array if it determines that the URL is inside a rewrite path.
Returns
string[] Any query arguments found in path matches.
Exceptions
FatalErrorIf invalid routes are configured (T48998)

This should be used for all user input and form fields that are expected to contain non-ASCII characters, especially if the value will be stored or compared against stored values. Without normalization, logically identically values might not match when they are typed on different OS' or keyboards.

Array values are discarded for security reasons. Use {

◆ getVal()

    getText} when reading user input or form fields that are expected to contain non-ASCII characters.
  • Use {
    See also
    getRawVal} when reading ASCII strings, such as parameters used to select predefined behaviour in the software.
    Array values are discarded for security reasons. Use {

◆ hasSafeMethod()

Check if this request uses a "safe" HTTP method.

Returns
bool

◆ 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
