	Code examples


	 1. Simple init

	<code>
		$Browser = new Snufkin;
		$Browser->get('https://www.google.com');

		$Browser->dump_get();
	</code>


	 2. Init using the custom config

	<code>
		$conf = array(
			'timeout'   => 5,
			'redirects' => 10,
			'agent'     => 'win.ff.3',
			'referer'   => 'https://www.google.com/',
			'encoding'  => 'gzip,deflate',
			'headers'   => array(
				'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8',
				'Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7',
				'Accept-Language: ru,en-us;q=0.7,en;q=0.3',
				'Connection: keep-alive"',
				'Keep-Alive: 300',
				'Cache-Control: max-age=0',
				'Pragma: ',
			),
		);

		$Browser = new Snufkin($conf);
		$Browser->get('https://www.google.com');

		$Browser->dump_get();
	</code>


	 3. Make a GET-request

	<code>

	=============================================================
	  1. | URL      | site url
	  2. | nobody   | true if you want headers only,
	     |          | false in other case
	  5. | raw_save | true if you want to save unparsed response
	=============================================================


	 4. Make a POST-request

	<code>
		$Browser->post(
			'https://www.google.com',
			array(
				'param1' => 'value1',
				'param2' => 'value2',
			)
		);

		$Browser->dump_get();
	</code>

	Params for post()

	     | Param    | Description
	=============================================================
	  1. | URL      | site url
	  2. | params   | POST params array
	  3. | nobody   | true if you want headers only,
	     |          | false in other case
	  6. | raw_save | true if you want to save unparsed response
	=============================================================


	 5. Set a custom referer for a single http request

	<code>
		$Browser->set('referer', 'https://www.google.com')->get('https://www.google.com');

		$Browser->dump_get();
	</code>

	Params for set()

	     | Param  | Description
	==========================================================
	  1. | setion | 'headers' or 'referer'
	  2. | value  | string for 'referer', array for 'headers'
	==========================================================


	 6. Make a HEAD-request

	<code>
		$Browser->get('https://www.google.com', true);

		$Browser->dump_get();
	</code>


	 7. Get the section of http-response

	<code>
		$Browser->get('https://www.google.com');

		$raw     = $Browser->raw();
		$body    = $Browser->body();
		$heads   = $Browser->heads();
		$head    = $Browser->head();
		$headers = $Browser->headers();
		$header  = $Browser->header('Content-Type');
		$cookies = $Browser->cookies();
		$cookie  = $Browser->cookie('lsd');

		$Browser->dump_get();
	</code>

	Sections methods description

	     | Method    | Description
	===============================================================
	  1. | raw()     | unparsed response (exists only if you`ve
	     |           | set raw_save param using get() or post()
	     |           | methods)
	  2. | body()    | response body
	  3. | heads()   | headers for all redirects
	  4. | head()    | headers for the last response
	  5. | http()    | http section of head()
	  6. | headers() | headers section of head()
	  7. | header()  | value of the header given in param or false
	  7. | cookies() | cookies section of head()
	  8. | cookie()  | value of the cookie given in param or false
	===============================================================


	 8. Change the response encoding:

	<code>
		$Browser->get('https://www.google.com')->charset('utf-8', 'windows-1251');

		$Browser->dump_get();
	</code>

	Params for charset()

	     | Param    | Description
	=================================================================
	  1. | given    | given encoding, use false to take it from
	     |          | response Charset header
	  2. | needed   | encoding you need to encode the response body,
	     |          | use false to take it from the common config
	=================================================================


	 9. Clean response body from line skews, tabs and spaces

	<code>
		$Browser->get('https://www.google.com')->trim();

		$Browser->dump_get();
	</code>


	10. Make a https request using default SSL settings

	<code>
		$conf = array(
			'timeout'   => 5,
			'redirects' => 10,
			'agent'     => 'win.ff.3',
			'referer'   => 'https://www.google.com/',
			'ssl'       => true,
		);

		$Browser = new Snufkin($conf);

		$Browser->get(
			'https://somehost.com'
		);

		$Browser->dump_get();
	</code>


	11. Make a https request using custom SSL settings

	<code>
		$conf = array(
			'timeout'   => 5,
			'redirects' => 10,
			'agent'     => 'win.ff.3',
			'referer'   => 'https://www.google.com/',
			'ssl'       => array(
				'version' => 2,
				'host'    => 1,
				'peer'    => true,
			),
		);

		$Browser = new Snufkin($conf);

		$Browser->get('https://somehost.com');

		$Browser->dump_get();
	</code>


	12. Add extra user defined parsers

	<code>
		include('Snufkin.3.3.php');

		class Snufkin_X extends Snufkin {
			public function
				x_headers_parse() {
				}

			public function
				x_body_parse() {
				}
		}

		$Browser = new Snufkin_X;
	</code>

	Both methods will be running automaticly with every request and will
	be having direct access to OOP properties.
