File_Mogile Proposed to PEAR

[Steve Williams]

Dormando, thanks for your email.

Sure!  I don't see an appropriate spot for it.  Is there a page where 
libraries are listed?

They can be config'd by:

File_Mogile::$socketTimeout = {new value};
$m = new File_Mogile(...);

We have used that a lot at Digg, but since I wrote File_Mogile, we've 
begun to think it's not the best technique.  One could make a strong 
argument that a setopt() method would be better.

Good point, thanks!

Hmmm...  Now I look at the code, it isn't clear to me whether PHP's 
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT corresponds to cURL's --max-time or 
--connect-timeout.  That makes it hard to document the new config precisely.
