 Use this function when a problem occurs that has nothing to do with the parameters provided by the user. (like: Host service gone missing, empty data received, etc...)
 
+## The `getContents` function
+
+This function is a wrapper arround the [file_get_contents](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php) original PHP function. It downloads the content of a given URI while respecting the various settings defined at a global level by RSS-Bridge (i.e., proxy host, user agent, etc.). It does accept all the parameters of the original [file_get_contents](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php) function.
+
+```PHP
+$html = getContents('your URI');
+```

 ## The `getSimpleHTMLDOM` function
 
 This function is a wrapper around the [simple_html_dom](http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/) [file_get_html](http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/manual_api.htm#api) function in order to provide context by design.
