this HTTPProtocol implementation uses CURL to do its work, hence why it
exists here. While we could certainly have cross compilation between
extensions, it doesn't seem like it's worth the increase in build time to
change. One thing I want to avoid is having single function extensions and
instead of have classes of extensions.
