I'm building a REST web service client in PHP and at the moment I'm using curl to make requests to the service.

How do I use curl to make authenticated (http basic) requests? Do I have to add the headers myself?

If so I've got some other questions -

  1. Is there a REST library for php?

  2. or is there a wrapper for curl that makes it a bit more rest friendly?

  3. or am I going to have to continue to roll my own?

Thanks.
