I’ve found a great PHP script that can essentially turn a web server into a virtual browser. The script is small and lightweight compared to existing solutions (just 62KB) and it isn’t dependent on anything else. I needed it for sending/receiving data through POST (because GET is easy), and more importantly, doing it over SSL. I still need to figure out how to upload files through this, but I don’t think it should be too big of an issue. I’m sure it’s just a matter of encoding.
