The reason I'm against these changes is that simple HTTP support is
fine, but when it comes to getting more complex support written by PHP
it makes very little sense to me to not use some external library
(e.g. cURL).  Supporting these features properly, completely, with
multiple browsers is too large a code size to duplicate within PHP
itself, simple support is one thing, but I think its wrong to get more
advanced in this respect.
