Common Functionality - HTTP in Common Functionality 7.2

A set of functions to get content from remote web pages.

Justification: Custom php scripts need a straight-forward and easy way to pull data from another website. This is useful as an alternative to iframe and has advantages and disadvantages to iframes. An advantage is that this allows showing remote content even if the remote url is down (via caching). A disadvantage is that remote images and links need to be processed, updated, and possibly even manually cached.
