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.

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.
