CURL is your friend: http://nl2.php.net/curl
Especially read about the options set with curl_setopt()

If CURL isn't installed at your server, you'll either have to write your
own lofic using fsockopen(), and manually write & read (/interpret)
headers, or use one of the http client classes out there, for instance the
PEAR one: <http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_Client>

Thanks Rik !

I'm building that on my own computer, with WinXP and Apache 2.2. I'm
sure if I dont have CURL, I can install it

I get back to the list if I enconter problems.
