The HTTP extension for PHP aims to provide a
convenient and powerful set of functionality for
one of PHP's major applications. It eases handling
of HTTP URLs, dates, redirects, headers, and
messages, provides means for negotiation of
clients' preferred language and charset, as well
as a convenient way to send any arbitrary data
with caching and resuming capabilities. It
provides powerful request functionality if built
with CURL support. Parallel requests are available
for PHP 5 and greater.
