Mike, I have a few questions about the API and target use cases. What is the best medium to ask these questions and document them? This thread certainly is not the best place im sure of. Thanks, Ralph Michael Wallner wrote:

So pecl/http is actually ext/curl with OO API?
Not really. libcurl is not HTTP only, pecl/http utilizes libcurl for it's HTTP request functionality. pecl/http also provides much improved HTTP response and zlib functionality besides an "swizz-army-knife" for URLs.
Why not merge the two then..? Or rather, replace ext/curl with pecl/http once latter has BC API for us non-oo folks out there..
You don't have to write OO code to use pecl/http, neither do you have the possibility to query any protocol other than HTTP with pecl/http. Regards, Mike
