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
- CURL support
- SSL support (through CURL)

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. 🙂
