 file_get_contents with a proper stream context should also work (have
 a look at functions like http://dk.php.net/manual/en/context.http.php
 )

very important to note that file_get_contents uses HTTP 1.0 not 1.1 by
default.

99% of web servers use HTTP 1.1 nowadays.

ps: please don't hook up on the 99%, i don't know the exact figure :p

Even tho most of the servers uses 1.1 they have compliant configurations. 


or at least they should. 

things like mod_gzip and deflate are usually only used if the request is 1.1

to be honest.. if i understood you correctly the curl solution or even a 
wrapper for another downloader like wget or aria is possible...
but id guess that a more fast and simple solution could be archived with a 
javascript chamging the image srcs or an ajax request with jquery or other 
popular yet simple js lib.

  i'm sure this isn't hard to do, but i'm having end-of-week brain
 cramps.  just now, i installed a PHP package that lets me download
 thumbnails of image files stored on a server -- the URL to generate
 and download a thumbnail is, say:

 http://server/d1/d2/thumbnail.php?fileID=whateverarg1=val1arg2=val2

 and so on.  unsurprisingly, the thumbnail generation program accepts
 numerous arguments and is incredibly sophisticated, and is stored in a
 subdirectory under /var/www/html and ... well, you get the idea,
 calling it directly involves creating quite the URL.

  instead, i'd like to stuff a wrapper script at the top of the
 document root which hides all that complexity, so i can just browse
 to:

 http://server/thumb.php?fileID=whatever

 and have that top-level thumb.php script make the appropriate
 invocation to the real thumbnail.php script with all of those
 (default) arguments and values.

  so, what would thumb.php look like?  i obviously need to simulate a
 POST call, retrieve the output and pass it back unchanged.  thoughts?
 surely this is something that people want to do on a regular basis,
 no?
