Hi Daniel, hi all Great Tool. Looks like I have to rewrite my app again. And I have also some questions: *Do you look only for remote articles when they not avaible on the toolserver? I ask this because I will read all articles in german wikipedia (at least at the first time I run my script) and that will bring a big performence problem. *Can you give my a PHP Interface to the wikiproxy? Something like a include file "WikiProxy.inc" with a function to return the article as string? That would be great! 'Cause I doesn't need any slow http, tcp or whatever connection.
Thanks Leo

Hi all
To solve the external storage problem, I have written http://tools.wikimedia.de/~daniel/foo/WikiProxy.php. It's not fast, as it also pulls the pages via HTTP from the real servers, but it does caching for dewiki, enwiki and commonswiki (I can add more on demand, but I have to ask Kate to tweak grants for each new cache).
The more people use this, the better it works :)
I have also fiddeled with setting up an interface for WikiProxy that bypasses the Web Server. If anyone wants to experiment with a shaky fifo or plain TCP interface, tell me, I'll have another look at it.
