最近HTTP远程访问的程序写得多了，主要接触的是.NET类库里的WebHttpRequest类和 Microsoft.XMLHTTP这个通用的对象，有了这些方便的类，我们可以通过C#，ASP，Javascript来模拟Web客户端访问其他的 Web页面。但是今天想用PHP实现一下类似的功能，却一时找不到方向了，于是只能自己“丰衣足食”了。
目前，PHP里面还没有类似于HttpRequest的类，不过在官方在线文档中找到了这么一个HttpRequest Class的页面，不过也只是提及了此功能目前可能只有在CVS版本中存在，无奈...
要实现HTTP访问无非就是用Socket发送一个请求，然后读取返回信息。于是我就用Socket写了一个HttpRequest的类，当然也可以用fsockopen()这个函数来实现，不过两个的区别不是很大，具体代码在附件里，自己看咯。
