Their code suffers from the same problem as was described here, it is quite difficult to adapt it to using the cURL extension (or any other extension, for that matter). Note that they only provide socket-based backend.

Again, why do we need "adapters" ? sorry but I just don't get it. It makes sense for a db package but here... Sockets are fine, shipped by default and available on any platform you can imagine.

Handling all the processing in php is slow and uses more memory

That's true.

Sockets don't do ssl

That's not true, they do if OpenSSL extension is available.

Curl and the HTTP extension give use extra features like having multiple inflight http requests

That can be done manually with sockets, I think. Only it is a lot harder. A couple of other reasons: * We have a feature request for cURL support * cURL extension API is extremely ugly and lacks in documentation I don't really care about HTTP extension, since that is itself an OO wrapper around cURL.
