I swear to whatever you believe.

I worked on a project a while back where the client wanted to backup
into S3. They had a bunch of wrappers (straight php, curl) but it did
not work. So when I asked them who did this, they didn't know and said
it was some intern and it had 0 copyrights/names on it.

I ported the class to use HTTP_Request etc., recently I put in
CRYPT_HMAC2 as well to go more PHP5 when I used it at another client.
And now I will use MIME_Type etc. and change the behavior from global
constants to class vars to follow suggestions given in comments.

Both parties told me that they had no problem if I proposed it to PEAR
since I made it work and polished it up. So if some intern indeed took
your code in the beginning, I am still not aware of this. The first
project dates back to over three months ago.
