phpWebHacks 1.5
===============
This is an advanced HTTP client written in PHP. It simulates a real web browser,
only that you use it with lines of code rather than mouse and keyboard. Using
pure PHP, no Curl or other fancy dependencies needed. The functionality makes it
a perfect tool for HTTP scripting.
