Traumwind - Snoopy

Snoopy is a PHP class that simulates a web browser. It automates the task of retrieving web page content and posting forms
supports basic user/pass authentication
supports setting user_agent, referer, cookies and header content (also suports 'raw' headers, so any imaginable http-header can be done)
supports browser redirects, and controlled depth of redirects
expands fetched links to fully qualified URLs (default)

This PHP class has been around some time now, and supports anything I could think of to build a good data-fetcher for a PHP-based NewsAggregator. With the possibility to set abritrary http-headers, even the contitional-GET stuff is possible.

Scott points to HTTP Client Class from Leo West, which has a slightly different feature set (supporting WebDAV, and no follow-redirects), althouh I guess after looking at the code to Snoopy, the basic principle is very simiöar, and the supporting code differs.
