+NAME
+
+	MagpieRSS - a simple RSS integration tool
+
+SYNOPSIS
+
+	require_once(rss_fetch.inc);
+	$url = $_GET['url'];
+	$rss = fetch_rss( $url );
+	
+	echo "Channel Title: " . $rss->channel['title'] . "<p>";
+	echo "<ul>";
+	foreach ($rss->items as $item) {
+		$href = $item['link'];
+		$title = $item['title'];
+		echo "<li><a href=$href>$title</a></li>";
+	}
+	echo "</ul>";
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+	MapieRSS is an XML-based RSS parser in PHP.  It attempts to be "PHP-like",
+	and simple to use.
+	
+	Some features include:
+	
+	* supports RSS 0.9 - 1.0, with limited RSS 2.0 support
+	* supports namespaces, and modules, including mod_content and mod_event
+	* open minded [1]
+	* simple, functional interface, to object oriented backend parser
+	* automatic caching of parsed RSS objects makes its easy to integrate
+	* supports conditional GET with Last-Modified, and ETag
+	* uses constants for easy override of default behaviour 
+	* heavily commented
+
+
+1. By open minded I mean Magpie will accept any tag it finds in good faith that
+   it was supposed to be here.  For strict validation, look elsewhere.

+
+SJM - alpha-grade changes based on the version of Snoopy released with MagpieRSS 0.7
+
+comments to [email protected]
+
+Two additions:
+
+1) If this is PHP 4.3 or greater, and 'openssl' is available,
+   use the PHP built in SSL support for "https" instead of calling curl externally.
+   Use of external curl can still be forced by setting $use_curl = true.
+   
+   ref:  http://us2.php.net/fsockopen
+   
+2) HTTP Digest Authentication.  If you set a username and password, basic auth
+   will be tried first.  If that fails, and the server sends back an
+   WWW-Authenticate: Digest header, the request will be retried with the appropriate
+   digest response.  Only qop=auth is supported, with MD5 as the algorithm.
+   I realize that sending basic auth first, and then following up with a digest
+   challenge-response kind of defeats the purpose in terms of security.
+
