+set of functionality for one of PHPs major applications.
+
+It eases handling of HTTP urls, dates, redirects, headers and
+messages, provides means for negotiation of clients preferred
+language and charset, as well as a convenient way to send any
+arbitrary data with caching and resuming capabilities.
