I'm porting some code from C++ to PHP, and the C++ application I'm
porting from uses the cURL library (http://curl.haxx.se/). The library
is used to both make requests to an internal website at my work and to
look at the returned HTTP response codes (200, 401, 404, etc). It then
takes appropriate action, based on the response code that was
returned.

Assuming I was unable to use the cURL library in my PHP code (due to
mostly non-technical reasons), what alternatives do I have to do user
authentication and checking the resulting HTTP response codes? I have
been pointed to the Snoopy class hosted at SourceForge (http://
sourceforge.net/projects/snoopy/), but it cannot handle HTTPS
authentication without the cURL library. Are there native calls
available for me to do this kind of thing? If so, what are they?

Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
