Updating class-snoopy.php widget to http.php

I have a twitter widget that uses class-snoopy.php which is now deprecated and I receive this message:

Notice: class-snoopy.php is deprecated since version 3.0! Use wp-includes/http.php instead.


So, I have updated the include to include http.php instead but I then get the error of:

Fatal error: Class 'Snoopy' not found in /home/path/to/backend/widgets/twitter.php on line 28


So, here is the area of code affected:

if ($tweet['lastcheck'] < (mktime() - 60)) {

	$snoopy = new Snoopy;

	$result = $snoopy->fetch($url);

			

	// Check if any tweets were returned from Twitter API

	if ($result) {

		$twitterdata = json_decode($snoopy->results, true);


Line 28:

$snoopy = new Snoopy;


Obviously I'm using snoopy to fetch the tweets but since it is now changed to use http.php, I need to update this, but what to?

This question has been answered.

    since class Snoopy is deprecated and you should use WP Http, you won't be able to do a 'new Snoopy' without including the snoopy class. You need to do a "new WP_Http"...

    Here is a good blog post about using the WP Http API - http://planetozh.com/blog/2009/08/how-to-make-http-requests-with-wordpress/

    Hi,

    WordPress 3.x update: you now need to explicitly include the class if you intend to use it, that is start by adding the following lines:

    Please follow 2 steps:
    Step1: if you don't include,please add code

    if( !class_exists( 'WP_Http' ) )
    
    include_once( ABSPATH . WPINC. '/class-http.php' );


    Step2:
    Change this code: 
    if ($tweet['lastcheck'] < (mktime() - 60)) {
    

    
	$snoopy = new Snoopy;
    

    
	$result = $snoopy->fetch($url);
    

    
			
    

    
	// Check if any tweets were returned from Twitter API
    

    
	if ($result) {
    

    
		$twitterdata = json_decode($snoopy->results, true);


    To code:
    $request = new WP_Http;
    
         $result = $request->request($url);
    
	// Check if any tweets were returned from Twitter API
    

    
	if ($result) {
    

    
		$twitterdata = json_decode($result['body'], true);


    If this solutions is not ok .
    Please send email to me: yves.vu@gmail.com

    Cheers.
