S3 libcurl conversion continues

Managed to find some time over the holidays to do some more work converting the s3 class to use libcurl.

getACL()
deleteObject()
getMeta()

Using php curl to access Amazon S3

I've been working with Amazon S3 for a bit. I had a need to upload large files (1gb+) to the Amazon S3 service. The problem is that the sample library uses file_get_contents to slurp up the file that is being uploaded and then spits it out to Amazon. This kills your server as it sucks up all your memory of couse :(

I found this piece of code that handles streaming files by using the php curl libraries http://blogs.missiondata.com/linux/49/s3-streaming-with-php/

Having an issue getting that to work but in the process decided to work on replacing the PEAR request.php code with curl. I never really liked the PEAR classes myself.

I've converted the following s3 methods so far:
createBucket()
deleteBucket()
listBucket()
listKeys()
getBucketACL()

You can get this code from my Caveman framework. (It's one of the stand-alone components)
