Did someone take over HTTP_Request? Richard is still mentioned as the only developer on pear.php.net. I think I am fairly familiar with its code now, and i could maintain it if noone else wants. About integrating it: It IS possible, it CAN be done without breaking BC, BUT as i see it now that would require the program logic to choose one of two path right after sending the request and parsing the redirections, boosting its size - if having one workhorse for everything is preferred over having multiple lightweight packages doing specialized things, that is the way to go. -- Stefan Walk post@fuer-et.de
