I'd like to make a call to a service on another server and present the results in a mediawiki page. Does the current release of MW (1.16.5 I think) have a built in proxy to support this ?
Thanks - Tod

No. Writing one should be trivial, but currently I don't believe such proxies exist.

Using a serverside proxy should be a matter of last resort.
There are many ways to make a cross-domain request without violating any browser origin policies.
Do you have control of the other server ?
Have you heard of JSONP / (eg. "JSON objects with a callback") ?

I have, but what about services that don't support it?
