[PHP-DEV] Snoopy - new PHP class From: Andrey Zmievski (zmievski <email protected>)
Date: 08/20/99

Monte Ohrt wrote a new PHP class called Snoopy which implements web client
functionality, like fetching pages and submitting forms.

Some of Snoopy's features:
   
   * easily fetch the contents of a web page
   * easily fetch the text from a web page (strip html tags)
   * easily fetch the the links from a web page
   * supports proxy hosts
   * supports basic user/pass authentication
   * supports setting user_agent, referer, cookies and header content
   * supports browser redirects, and controlled depth of redirects
   * expands fetched links to fully qualified URLs (default)
   * easily submit form data and retrieve the results

   On the TODO list:
   
   * fetch other types of protocols such as ftp, nntp, gopher, etc.
   * post forms with http file upload (I didn't have this need,
     but it should be fairly straightforward)
   * expand links, image tags, and form actions to fully
     qualified URLs
