Mike, I have a few questions about the API and target use cases. What is the best medium to ask these questions and document them? This thread certainly is not the best place im sure of.

Not really. libcurl is not HTTP only, pecl/http utilizes libcurl for it's HTTP request functionality. pecl/http also provides much improved HTTP response and zlib functionality besides an swizz-army-knife for URLs. Why not merge the two then..? Or rather, replace ext/curl with pecl/http once latter has BC API for us non-oo folks out there.. You don't have to write OO code to use pecl/http, neither do you have the possibility to query any protocol other than HTTP with pecl/http.

So pecl/http is actually ext/curl with OO API? for the most part, yes (i know it requires libcurl to build), but it has a set of functions in the global scope as well, like http_put() and http_post(). Why not merge the two then..? Or rather, replace ext/curl with pecl/http once latter has BC API for us non-oo folks out there.. im not sure the global function set in pecl/http interact w/ each other as do those in ext/curl. the two sets of functions may be mutually exclusive, but i suspect there could be some BC breakage in a merge of the two extensions. -nathan
