[ANNOUNCEMENT] HTTP_Request2-0.3.0 (alpha) Released.

The new PEAR package HTTP_Request2-0.3.0 (alpha) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- API changes: * Removed HTTP_Request2::getConfigValue() method Feature additions: * Added digest authentication (RFC 2617) support to Socket adapter. Thanks to Tom Snyder (tomsn at inetoffice dot com) who sent me a prototype implementation for HTTP_Request a couple of years ago. * Added HTTPS proxy support to Socket adapter, this works through CONNECT request described in RFC 2817. * Mock adapter can now throw an Exception instead of returning a response if Exception object is added via its addResponse() method (request #15629) Other changes and fixes: * Support RFC 3986 by not encoding '~' in POST body (request #15368) * Prevent an error with particular versions of PHP and Curl (bug #15617) * Regular expressions used in HTTP_Request2 are now class constants (request #15630) * Curl adapter now throws an exception in case of malformed (non-HTTP) response rather than dies with a fatal error (bug #15716) * Curl handle wasn't closed in Curl adapter in case of error (bug #15721) * Curl adapter sent an extra 'sentHeaders' event and returned bogus response status when server returned 100-Continue response (bug #15785) Package Info ------------ PHP5 rewrite of HTTP_Request package. Provides cleaner API and pluggable Adapters. Currently available are: * Socket adapter, based on old HTTP_Request code, * Curl adapter, wraps around PHP's cURL extension, * Mock adapter, to use for testing packages dependent on HTTP_Request2. Supports POST requests with data and file uploads, basic and digest authentication, cookies, proxies, gzip and deflate encodings, monitoring the request progress with Observers...
