-HttpResponse class is only available for PHP >= 5.1
+PHP < 5.1.3:
+ HttpResponse::getHeader() does not work with Apache2 SAPIs.
+ Using an encoding stream filter on a stream you read from doesn't work.
-HttpResponse::guessContentType() is not available on Windows at the time this
-was written, unless you compile PHP or ext/http yourself[1]. Additionally
-you'll need to fix the magic.mime file that's shipped with PHP by executing
-`sed -e "s/\t!/\\\!/" magic.mime > magic.good` and then of course use the new
-magic file.
+Windows:
+ If you keep getting "SSL connect error" when trying to issue
+ requests, try another (newer) libeay32.dll/ssleay32.dll pair.

+Internals:
+ Our http_urlencode_hash() does not differentiate between prefixes
+ for numeric or string keys.
+ Inflating raw deflated data causes a re-initialization of the inflate
+ stream where the corresponding window bits are modified to tell libz
+ to not check for zlib header bytes. This is not preventable AFAICS.
+ LFS dependant parts of libcurl are left out because of off_t,
+ respectively off64_t confusion.
+ Persistent handles and "cookiestore" request option do interfere,
+ as libcurl safes the cookies to the file on curl_easy_destroy(),
+ cookies are not safed until the CURL handle will be recycled.
+ Thus one would either need to
+ * run PHP with http.persistent.handles.limit = 0
+ * call http_persistent_handles_clean() every request
+ * call $HttpRequest->flushCookies(), which is available
+ since libcurl v7.17.1 and does not work with the
+ procedural API
+ Anyway, none of these options is really perfect.
