In this new post on the Pat Tools Blog today, there's mention of the move of the HTTP_Cache package over to 3rdPEARty.net.

Today I made the first release of HTTP_Cache on 3rdPEARty.net, the channel server provided by Carsten Lucke. If you are already using HTTP_Cache, please change your installations and register the new channel-server.

3rdPEARty.net is relatively new and will provide packages by several PEAR and PAT developers that are not available in the PEAR repository, more on this subject will probably follow soon by Carsten. I moved HTTP_Cache to this server, so that the PAT server will only provide packages prefixed with pat. Other packages available at 3rdPEARty are Util_Checksum, which is able to generate various checksums as well as a package that provides commonly used exceptions, called P3AR_Exception.

Always good to see more and more PEAR channels popping up around...
