Re: [Wikitech-l] How to to replace output of SpecialPage (for use as SPARQL endpont)?

You should always be sure to set the content-type correctly; and if outputting XML or HTML, be sure to include a charset header. The wfResetOutputBuffers() bit isn't required in most cases, but if you're outputting a*lot* of data it can help to let you stream output directly to the downloader. (By default, buffering is used to apply gzip encoding and send a Content-Size header. This is usually good, but means that all your output has to be built and stored in memory before it actually gets sent to the client... potentially a problem if you're streaming out fifty thousand revisions of [[Hurricane Katrina]]!) When you're doing your raw output, you can go ahead and do 'print' or 'echo' directly if you like -- you're now in control.;) As a general note -- always be careful of your output to make sure you're applying proper escaping when generating HTML or XML; raw output can be a security risk if input isn't sanitized properly.
