Cesar D. Rodas

This class implements an HTTP stream wrapper that can be used to access Web pages like files.

It can submit HTTP POST and GET requests using regular PHP access functions with support for authentication and using proxy servers.

It provides the stream wrappers ghttp, phttp, ghttps and phttps for performing HTTP GET and POST requests respectively using SSL or not.

The can also be used as replacement of the regular HTTP stream wrappers under PHP 5.1 or later.

Optionally, it can cache the responses of the same HTTP requests in files of a given directory.

Number 10		 PHP can access remote Web pages as if they are files since stream wrapper support was introduced in version 4.3.

However, the current built-in HTTP stream wrapper has some limitations that make it difficult to send special kinds of HTTP requests.

This package provide alternative stream wrappers that overcome some of the limitations of the original PHP HTTP stream wrappers, like submitting POST requests, accessing sites that requires special types of authentication, using HTTP proxies, and the support for HTTP response caches.
