If you've ever seen Snoopy v1.2.3 it appears to be a PHP class with one version on Source Forge (see the snoopy project) and it's definitely included in Wordpress.

So Snoopy is technically not a spider in itself, but just a library used to access web pages.

Yep, it's a PHP open source class that simulates a web browser. Lots of these classes used to be directly linked from the php.net site. Snoopy, Smarty, etc. I didn't realize they are no longer directly linked. Interesting.

You mean like a proxy?
