Using fsockopen instead of PEAR's HTTP_Request class

[Marty]

Hi there,

Garvin recently threw together a new event ( backend_http_request ), when coupled with his serendipity_event_proxy_request plugin, it allows the user to specify whatever HTTP proxy settings they require for making outbound HTTP requests. This is great (Thanks Garvin!)!

But there is one small problem - serendipity_reference_autodiscover and _serendipity_send don't use the PEAR HTTP_Request class and instead do some hand-crafted HTTP requests. Is there a compelling reason for this, or can they be changed to also use HTTP_Request method?

I'm going to have a little poke around and see what happens when I make this change (or indeed, if this change is possible).

Feedback gratefully received!

Those two functions ARE using the HTTP_Request class. But you must use the latest Serendipity 1.0-alpha versions for that; I've committed that change a few weeks ago.

Best regards,
Garvin

Great! I've switched to alpha2, and everything works!

Thanks again.
