Good afternoon folks, I'd like to open discussion on adding OOP APIs to the cURL extension. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/curl-oop This has been a long standing bug-bear of mine, and I think its time has come. try { (new \CurlHandle)->setOpt(YOUR_VOTE, true)->exec(); } catch (\CurlHandleException $ex) { assert(false); // Why not?! } -Sara

I love the idea of an OOP API. Personally I use Python's Requests library a lot, it could offer some inspiration. I would really like to simply write:

    Curl::get('https://...', params: ['key' => 'value'])->json()
    Curl::post(...)
    ...

Some more specific exceptions may be nice too, to easily differentiate between errors you might want to retry (network errors) and programming errors. Regards, Dik
