[ANNOUNCEMENT] HTTP_Request2-2.0.0beta1 (beta) Released.

The new PEAR package HTTP_Request2-2.0.0beta1 (beta) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- Additions and changes: * Implemented cookie jar that allows to store and pass cookies across HTTP requests (see request #18225) * Added several specialized subclasses of HTTP_Request2_Exception, they are now thrown instead of the parent. Also added error codes and possibility to get native error code (as returned by stream_socket_client() and curl_errno()) (request #16762) * An additional 'sentBody' event is now sent to Observers (request #16828) * setBody() and addUpload() can now accept file pointers (request #16863) Bugfixes: * Incorrect check in Socket Adapter prevented Keep-alive from working in some cases (bug #17031) Package Info ------------ PHP5 rewrite of HTTP_Request package (with parts of HTTP_Client). Provides cleaner API and pluggable Adapters: * 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, managing cookies across requests, proxies, gzip and deflate encodings, redirects, monitoring the request progress with Observers...
