Because I had the methods written for network and http already (this is just old code of mine I'm open-sourcing), and I didn't want to bother with reading the source for hxt-curl or hxt-http (since neither has documentation and I'm not convinced that they can do exactly what I want).
If you feel strongly about hxt-curl or hxt-http I would love to hear why! I'm not opposed to using those instead.
