Subject: Suggestion for get_headers
From: frozenfire@thefrozenfire.com (Justin Martin)

Hi there,

I have a suggestion regarding get_headers, however I do not have a 
knowledge of C with which to provide a patch.

The function get_headers is, as most will know, used to retrieve headers 
generated by an HTTP request. The primary parameter to this, "string 
$url", is provided unencoded. Due to this, any request with special 
characters (i.e. a space), will return 400 BAD REQUEST. My suggestion to 
remedy this, would be to internally apply the function "urlencode" to 
the $url parameter. This would automatically encode any provided URL, 
while remaining transparent.

Any comments?

Thanks,
Justin Martin
