[ANNOUNCEMENT] HTTP_Client-1.1.0 (stable) Released.

The new PEAR package HTTP_Client-1.1.0 (stable) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- Fixes: * Fixed PHP warning if cookie path was empty (bug #1987) * Fixed fatal PHP error on empty URL, PEAR_Error is returned now (bug #2933) * Do not try to follow redirects to non-HTTP URLs (bug #5759) Feature additions: * It is possible to define a constant HTTP_CLIENT_QUIRK_MODE in your script, if it is present then HTTP_Client will follow common browser behaviour rather than RFC 2616. Currently this means: always do a GET request on a 301 redirect (request #1854). * HTTP_Client now analyzes the response body for <meta http-equiv="Refresh"> tags and follows the redirects defined in them (request #5734) * Added possibility to send extra headers with requests (request #7552) * It is now much easier to store permanent cookies received by HTTP_Client: added magic __sleep() and __wakeup() methods to CookieManager class to aid in its (un)serialization, added getCookieManager() method to HTTP_Client, added possibility to pass CookieManager object to HTTP_Client's constructor (request #7578). Package Info ------------- The HTTP_Client class wraps around HTTP_Request and provides a higher level interface for performing multiple HTTP requests. Features: * Manages cookies and referrers between requests * Handles HTTP redirection * Has methods 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.
