for the most part, yes (i know it requires libcurl to build), but it has a
set of functions in the global scope as well, like http_put() and
http_post().

Why not merge the two then..? Or rather, replace ext/curl with pecl/http

im not sure the global function set in pecl/http interact w/ each other as
do those in ext/curl.  the two sets of functions may be mutually exclusive,
but i suspect there could be some BC breakage in a merge of the two
extensions.
