I really want to keep the number of packages required to make the installer work as low as possible, to reduce the number of unknowns somewhat. Let's make a compromise: The HTTPS support is implemented in a separate method (for example sendPayloadHTTPS10). The first thing you do in this method is @include_once "HTTP/Request.php", and if it fails you raise an error about requiring HTTP_Request for HTTPS support (I do the same thing in PEAR/Remote.php for XML_RPC). This won't interfere with the installer, but make room for HTTPS support. - Stig
