http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_Request/

The author mentioned this pear package above.

I hope this helps.

Within the next days I’ll try it out.

George, excellent article. However, I’m trying to begin writing my own lightweight REST class for use with Amazon Web Services, but I’m confused by one thing in your class:

require_once “RESTclient.php”;

Is this line just assuming that we have *some REST client* to use? Which one would you recommend using? I only need to send GET requests for the time being. If you could reply to this, it’d be much appreciated :)

Thanks man,
-Geddy

There is a great Eclipse plugin where you can visually construct your REST call: http://http4e.roussev.org/

Of course this is not an PHP client, yet it is very priceless tool for REST and HTTP.
