[wp-hackers] find wp-config from a plugin file

[Jess Planck]

I believe you could also use the template_redirect action using some  
sort of unique request token. Then exit the function once your ajax  
job is complete. This basically stops WordPress cold before it  
includes template files. This probably would start some headers  
though. something like:

function do_my_bidding() {
	// Kill intruders
	if ( !defined('ABSPATH') ) exit();
	
	echo 'You are the boss!!'
	
	exit;
}

if ( $_REQUEST['do_my_bidding_token'] == 'yes-master' ) {
	add_action('template_redirect', 'do_my_bidding');
}

Then the request should look like:

http://my-wordpress.com/?do_my_bidding=yes-master

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but I found it very  
useful for overly complex ajax functions that need a large set of  
built-in WordPress functions.
