package proposal: HTTP_SimpleClient

Greetings! The HTTP::SimpleClient class wraps around HTTP::Request and provides a higher level interface for performing HTTP requests: $client =& new HTTP_SimpleClient(); $client->post($url, array('login' => $login, 'password' => $password)); instead of $request =& new HTTP_Request($url); $request->setMethod(HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_POST); $request->addPostData('login', $login); $request->addPostData('password', $password); $request->sendRequest(); Features: * manages cookies and referrers between requests * handles HTTP redirection * ability to set default headers and request parameters * implements the Subject-Observer design pattern: the base class sends events to listeners that do the response processing.
