I'm in favor of making Http a little less static and having getErrorCode()-esque methods so we can more accurately error out to users. That being said, the file_get_contents() fallback is what is holding us back here mainly, as it's severely crippled in terms of what it can do compared to cURL. -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
