This project has two parts. The first one is a hidden counter (using the 1x1 transparent pixel GIF) which registers into a MySQL database all remote IP addresses (whether IPv4 or IPv6), it tries very hard to use IPv6. The second part shows stats.
The original intent was to make a pretty simple "connect and send" http client, it has since grown to include as much http 1.0 client capabilitlies (as defined in RFC 1945) as possible.
