Reading this i think pear group should step up and make a decision concerning HTTP_Request. To me it looks like it needs a new maintainer (temporary ?). To avoid confusion i'm suggesting ading a new maintainer to the list, not removing the current maintainer and replacing him.

Here is a quote from the mail I sent to Christian Stocker on 2003-08-07 and received no response yet: =========================================================== At the same time there are several unapplied patches floating around: 1) A patch I sent to Richard a lo-o-ong time ago to make appending [] to variables optional (like the one that was applied to Net_URL) 2) File upload patch (your own!): http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=pear-dev&m=104799891514924&w=2 3) Stefan Walk's patch to implement Observer pattern and to do a lot of other stuff. 4) I received a patch for 100-Continue response handling for HTTP_Client. I suspect it'll be better to implement this in HTTP_Request. =========================================================== I can work on integrting the patches and preparing a new major release of HTTP_Request, as its current state limits the possibilities of development for my own HTTP_Client. There is also a problem with redirection support in HTTP_Request. My personal POW is that redirection does not belong to the package at all and its addition was a BC break done in a minor 1.1.1 release. Since the original maintainer, Richard Heyes, was briefly appearing on the lists I'm Cc:'ing him on this.
