Hi,

Thanks last year for the assistance in correcting some programming issues with 
the Memento Extension.  We've been conducting performance testing in the 
interim and have been addressing issues as they've been discovered.  For the 
most part, we've been pleased with the results, mostly due to feedback from 
this group.

The extension looks for the presence of an 'Accept-Datetime' header in the HTTP 
request and, if present, constructs a 302 HTTP response redirecting the visitor 
to the closest, but not over, oldid page to the time they've requested.

Currently the extension starts its processing using the ArticleViewHeader hook. 
 If we are going to construct a 302 response because an 'Accept-Datetime' 
header was detected, then it appears that some of the data loaded never gets 
used, wasting processing time.

Is there an earlier hook in the page rendering process that can provide the 
name (title) of the page being requested and an OutputPage object so we can 
look at the request and construct the response?

We are avoiding all globals, like $wgOut, to comply with MediaWiki coding 
standards.

Thanks in advance,
