HTTP_Request2

PHP5 rewrite of HTTP_Request package (with some features from HTTP_Client). Provides cleaner API and pluggable Adapters:

Socket adapter, based on old HTTP_Request code,
Curl adapter, wraps around PHP's cURL extension,
Mock adapter, useful for testing packages dependent on HTTP_Request2.

Supports POST requests with data and file uploads, basic and digest authentication, cookies, managing cookies across requests, proxies, gzip and deflate encodings, redirects, monitoring the request progress with Observers...
