[ANNOUNCEMENT] pecl_http-2.0.0alpha1 (alpha) Released.

The new PECL package pecl_http-2.0.0alpha1 (alpha) has been released at http://pecl.php.net/. Release notes ------------- + Added http\Client\AbstractClient::request(string method, string url[, array headers=null[, mixed body=null[, array options=null]]]) + Added constants http\Params::PARSE_RAW, ::PARSE_DEFAULT, ::PARSE_URLENCODED, ::PARSE_DIMENSION, ::PARSE_QUERY + Added fourth parameter 'flags' to http\Params' constructor, which defaults to http\Params::PARSE_DEFAULT * Fixed bug #61444 (query string converts . to _ in param names) Package Info ------------- Extended HTTP support. Again. Keep in mind that it's got the major version 2, because it's incompatible with pecl_http v1. * Introduces the http namespace. * Message bodies have been remodeled to use PHP temporary streams instead of in-memory buffers. * The utterly misunderstood HttpResponse class has been reimplemented as http\Env\Response inheriting http\Message. * Currently, there's only one Exception class left, http\Exception. * Errors triggered by the extension can be configured statically by http\Object::$defaultErrorHandling or inherited http\Object->errorHandling. * The request ecosystem has been modularized to support different libraries, though for the moment only libcurl is supported.
