I am aware of cURL, but I want to just use the standard PHP stuff if I can
because I plan on releasing this when I'm done, and want to KISS for other
people.
I know people have to compile PHP with sockets, but they will anyways for
this project- I'm going to need socket_listen and socket_create_listen too.
This is for a proxy server which will work kinda like multiproxy, but should
be more powerful. It will support direct connections or going through another
proxy server. It seperates anonymous from non-anonymous proxy servers, then
sorts them by speed. Data is stored in tab seperated value text files (I'm
even avoiding mySQL!!!)
I just signed up for a page @ sourceforge. If anyone is interesting in
helping out e-mail me.
Thanks for the idea, though. I think right now my fall-back is fsockopen. I
would really love to get sockets working for this...
