Personally I've always hated using the cURL API in PHP and would love
to see a solid implementation included by default, but I would guess
that the general consensus would be that it could/should be done in
user-land.

Anyone know if Guzzle (http://guzzlephp.org/) handles this? I know
it's a popular HTTP client for PHP and is included in the Amazon Web
Service SDK (https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-php).
