Some web sites (like IMDb)
prevent external scripts
from parsing their contents
by denying request without a
user-agent string. You open
a socket connection and send
the headers, or you can just
use be_fopen and be_file,
which wrap the fsockopen
calls and return a file
handle usable with any PHP
function. Features: may also
be used to circumvent
allow_url_fopen; completely
transparent wrapper for
fsockopen; PHP-like
interfaces: BE::fopen
(corresponds to fopen) and
BE::file (file()); usable
with all PHP file
handling methods (fgets
etc.); can send GET or POST
requests; custom header
lines can be sent; POST data
can be sent; HTTP
authentication; custom
destination port.
