with HTTP 1.1, you just need the normal url, for the GET, but if you want to
use POST or something, you do strlen() and get the length, set the
contentlength, then you send it...make sure to do urlencode before sending
stuff via get, or doing stuff with POST...i wrote a perl POST Client,
because my host doesn't feel the need to tell me the path ot php, and
doesn't reply to emails, so i wrote a perl http client that uses the POST
method, grabs everything from the stdin and just sends it there...hehe :D
So i learn't a bit on the http specifications...
btw it might be an idea to try
$output = file("http://site.com/website?arg1=value&arg2=value2");

Subject: [PHP] How to simulate any browser

> Hello everyone!

> I was thinking abous using sockets to communicate directly and

> If You know how to send browser info to WWW server using standard
