Opauth: Multi-provider authentication framework for PHP, inspired by OmniAuth

I set a minimum requirement of Opauth Core to be PHP >= 5.2 (though technically it runs fine on >= 5.0) and tries as best as I could to not introduce any unnecessary dependencies, which is the reason why cURL isn't bundled and basic HTTP calls are made through get_file_contents(); and hashing is done through iterations of salted sha1() instead of bundling 3rd party encryption scheme.

Yes, file_get_contents() is not that great, but strategy developers can choose to require cURL if they want, just that Opauth Core doesn't require it.

I'm the developer of Requests (https://requests.ryanmccue.info/) which might be something for you to consider bundling with Opauth. There's a whole host of problems with using file_get_contents on various hosts, hence why cURL is so often used.

Thanks for that. Requests looks interesting. Opauth can consider bundling that to the core and replace my simple wrappers of file_get_contents().

file_get_contents() had huge problems working for me on my host. I think it was HTTPS, but I could be wrong.
