Refactored it a bit. Why do you need the exit inside get()?

BTW does Wordpress have its own http client? If yes, then you could use that so don't have to bundle the curl.php dependency.

• the exit was during testing when I was sending a normal form post from a local link to a blog and that get would load the WP Blog header before getting $_POST data. Not reqd now
• haven't looked for a client within WP itself. Got to check. Will update
