Displaying webpages from a php page

Hi,
I want to build a small php application like http://webwarper.net/.
I actually don't need something so sophisticated, but I do need 2
basic things:
1. Being able to display the page properly as if I were a broswer.
That means being able to differentiate between different file types,
gzipped content etc)
2. Change all relative links to absolute ones: /mydir/1.html ->
http://www.mysite.com/mydir/1.html
Do you know any open source apps that do similar things?
Thanks in advance :)

What you are about to do may violate the copyrights of the websties.
Basicly you may be stealing intellectual property since you create a
copy of copyrighted material and present it on your own site.

I agree.

But when I browse a site, my browser makes a copy of its
pages, stores the copies to my hard disk. Illegal copying?

Google spiders copy my
site to google's computers and displays my pages without permission.
Illegal copying?

Am I not allowed to do the same as google does?

No, because you're not redistributing it to third party.

The search results bascily aren't violations, since they usually are only
short quotes from the pages. Chached pages and pdf's transformed into html
are another issue. In my opinion Google also violates copyrights in these
cases, but don't trust me, search the web and see that this is a matter that
has been discussed a lot. Some say it's "fair use", some say it's violation.
Google has been in court more than once in this matter so it's not a simple
question.

Google isn't the authority, the copyright laws in each country are. You are
allowed to do what the copyright laws allow you to do.

simple way to work around basic corporate proxies
I want to display the webpage in a frame, but that certaint webpage
has a frame buster.
I just want to remove the frame buster and display it as is - without
changing the links or contents, and without claiming it as my own,

In any case, my problem is mainly technical at the moment...

The original link http://webwarper.net/ is an anonymizer service, btw.

Did you ever stop to wonder why? Perhaps the creators of the website are
trying to tell you something? Like don't do what you are trying to do.
