PHP server-side web browser: Browsing the Web via PHP

This is a simple set of scripts with anonymizing support to do folowing:

1. Take a URL from user input

2. Connects to the server according to the URI, passing through redirects (Location header) and gets the reply headers of the final URL.

3a. If the content type of the URL is text/html, it parses the content and changes the values of some attributes of some tags (a, img, form) to point them to the script itself with original URL as a parameter.

3b. Other content types are not changed.

4. The content of the URL is sent to the user agent.

So one can browse Internet and the Web servers will see that the client is a hosting server.

It can be useful when:

1. You want to browse some URL and want that it sees your hosting IP instead of your browser machine address.

2. Your traffic to Internet is charged and to your hosting is not.

3. You want to check the connection between your hosting server and another other server.
