What's the point of creating HTTP_Download2 when there's already HTTP_Request(2) and even PEAR2_HTTP_Request? Aren't they essentially fulfilling the same purpose (with the PEAR2 variant being the namespaced incarnation) of HTTP_Download?

No, they are completely different. HTTP_Request2 and PEAR2_HTTP_Request are HTTP client implementations. HTTP_Download is a server-side helper for file downloads, it takes care of download resuming, If-Modified-Since, these kinds of stuff. That being said, I'd very much like to see a PHP5 version of HTTP_Download.

Dear all, As per the blogpost asking for packages which arent moved to github yet to move them: here's one: HTTP_Download. In order to have PHP5.3 code without deprecation notices (and php5.4+ might fail comepletely) i would also at the same time like to see the patch on http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.**php?id=17418<http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=17418>be committed: by removing the references from construction, it would work without erros :) If I can help, please let me know!

I agree on the move. But since HTTP_Download's minimum PHP version is 4.2.x, your patch would break BC. I think once the code is moved, we should create HTTP_Download2, apply your patch, update all class names, docs etc.. And release a 0.1.0 of it and mark the old package superceeded. That would be the clean way to go about it. With an alpha release and HTTP_Download2 the code could be updated for PHP 5.3+ or whatever people feel like. I've cc'd the active maintainer to see what he thinks. Though I hope no one would object to leaving PHP4 behind. ;-) Till
