Yep I concur. No need to bloat the code base for no good reason. Whoever needs the flexibility you are talking of can use CURL.

The reason I'm against these changes is that simple HTTP support is fine, but when it comes to getting more complex support written by PHP it makes very little sense to me to not use some external library (e.g. cURL). Supporting these features properly, completely, with multiple browsers is too large a code size to duplicate within PHP itself, simple support is one thing, but I think its wrong to get more advanced in this respect.
