HTTP Navigator

2010-02-15: Rickey from Mobile Online Style has taken over the bulk of the HTTP Navigator development but I may contribute from time to time.

HTTP Navigator 2 is a set of PHP classes based on perl’s LWP. It’s no way near as feature-rich or stable as LWP, and only supports HTTP.

Features

• Cookie tracking (Cookie Jar class in 2.0)
• Gzip support (as of 2.1)
• File uploads (multipart/form-data support as of 2.1)
• Proxy support
• Connection caching (as of 2.0)
• Chunked Encoding (as of 2.0)
• Basic Authentication
• Auto redirects

• SSL support (through CURL)

Unfortunately I don’t have any time to devote to this project any more, but you can still email me with questions or leave a comment.

Examples of use

• FeedWordPress by Rad Geek – uses code derived from HTTP Navigator’s URL class. (This actually looks like a very interesting project. I must give it a go!)
• MyAntiwar.org – yes, this is my own site, but it still counts.
