I plan to make a pear/Cache/HTTP_Request which will inherit of the Cache class and which will make an HTTP_Request object to access to the given URL (and parameters : username, password...). The class will deal with the cache system to implement the following features : - when the local copy of the file is expired, the class will try to access to the remote file and to make a local copy of it. If the remote server is down, depending on the selected mode, the class will : - keep and return the local copy or - return false or - return a PEAR_Error (...) Of course if the remote HTTP server is ok, the class will return the remote file and will make a local copy of it. I think at this synopsis : <?php require_once("Cache/HTTP_Request.php"); $remoteFile = new Cache_HTTP_Request("http://www.php.net", $httpOptionnalParamaters, $cacheContainer, $cacheOptionnalParameters); // (Of course, with default values for the three last arguments to make // possible to call the constructor with only the URL parameter) $body = $remoteFile->getResponseBody(); ?> So can i start to write code ? :-) Thanks, Fabien
