 * Modified by Dongsheng Cai <dongsheng@moodle.com>
 * ChangeLog:
 *   1. Remove PEAR HTTP LIB, use curl.class.php (created by myself)
 *   2. Remove PEAR DB LIB
 *   3. Remove all cache code, it will implement in curl class.
 *   4. Clean up session code
 *
 * Modified by David Mudrak <david@moodle.com>
 * ChangeLog:
 *   1. upload() method uses Moodle stored_file
 *   2. upload() method supports all params provided by http://www.flickr.com/services/api/upload.api.html
 *   3. auth() method shows debugging warning as this library cannot be used any
 *      more for calling Flickr API that requires authentication.
