Re: [PHP-DEV] [BUNDLING] PHP cURL
I'd like to start bundling the cURL distribution with PHP, for both the curl extension (for starters), as well as replacing alot of the current ftp http code to use the cURL library. +1 Excellent idea. I'd add another reason: matching your cURL library and your php version can be tricky. All of that goes away when the library is bundled.

Re: [PHP-DEV] [BUNDLING] PHP cURL
YES! FINALLY! (although i'd like to see some alternative to source bundeling, maybe something like the BSD port collection mechanism maybe we could use the current HTTP and FTP implementations as a fallback together with the new CLI to fetch from the net in a portable way? ... but this is a very different story...) -- Hartmut Holzgraefe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.six.de +49-711-99091-77 -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

IMHO this goes hand in hand with PEAR/PECL. As soon as the download mechanism works it would certainly mean that extensions to PHP containing other parties source code have to be automatically bundled and downloaded with the extension sources (if not, it wouldn't make much sense). If I'm not wrong we have no PEAR/PECL extension yet including 3rd party source code. -- Please always Cc to me when replying to me on the lists. -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP-DEV] [BUNDLING] PHP cURL
Hey, I'd like to start bundling the cURL distribution with PHP, for both the curl extension (for starters), as well as replacing alot of the current ftp http code to use the cURL library. I want to do this for a few reasons, the most poignant are: 1) HTTP is a tricky mistress. Incompatibilities, protocol changes, request features, etc. cURL is a library with the best support for http and related protocols of all the different libraries out there. 2) cURL supports a multitude of different protocols which could be added to PHP transparently, including HTTPS, HTTP Proxy, DICT, LDAP, Telnet, etc. 3) cURL is fast, not just marginally faster, but quite a bit faster. Most benchmarks done confirm that its at least 20-30% faster than PHP's native code. Of course nothing official, but I'd be willing to bet quite a bit that an official benchmark would yield the same results. 4) I don't need to stress how important it is for PHP to have superb support for interacting with other web programs, even more now with the advent of web services (even though I'm not a huge fan of this concept). 5) cURL is quite popular, and is becoming even more popular lately, that means we get to take advantage of the work of the talented cURL developers in PHP, people who are constantly improving and tuning cURL to support new features, and new ideas. well, yeah, that's pretty much it, thoughts? -Sterling PS: cURL is license compatible, its dual-licensed under the MPL or the MIT public license. -- I wish I may, I wish I might, GIMME STUFF! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/wishlist/E7I1IWUJDPB4/ :))) -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [PHP-DEV] [BUNDLING] PHP cURL
i'm +1 on this. i'd like to see cURL get bundled as standard with php distro's. james -Original Message- From: Sterling Hughes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 3:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DEV] [BUNDLING] PHP cURL Hey, I'd like to start bundling the cURL distribution with PHP, for both the curl extension (for starters), as well as replacing alot of the current ftp http code to use the cURL library.
