I swear to whatever you believe. I worked on a project a while back where the client wanted to backup into S3. They had a bunch of wrappers (straight php, curl) but it did not work. So when I asked them who did this, they didn't know and said it was some intern and it had 0 copyrights/names on it. I ported the class to use HTTP_Request etc., recently I put in CRYPT_HMAC2 as well to go more PHP5 when I used it at another client. And now I will use MIME_Type etc. and change the behavior from global constants to class vars to follow suggestions given in comments. Both parties told me that they had no problem if I proposed it to PEAR since I made it work and polished it up. So if some intern indeed took your code in the beginning, I am still not aware of this. The first project dates back to over three months ago. On Dec 6, 2007 5:21 AM, Cesar D.
