  <summary>Extended HTTP Support</summary>
  <description><![CDATA[
-Extended HTTP support. Again. Keep in mind that it's got the major version 2, because it's incompatible with pecl_http v1.
+This HTTP extension aims to provide a convenient and powerful 
+set of functionality for one of PHPs major applications.
 
-* Introduces the http namespace.
-* Message bodies have been remodeled to use PHP temporary streams instead of in-memory buffers.
-* The utterly misunderstood HttpResponse class has been reimplemented as http\Env\Response inheriting http\Message.
-* Currently, there's only one Exception class left, http\Exception.
-* Errors triggered by the extension can be configured statically by http\Object::$defaultErrorHandling or inherited http\Object->errorHandling.
-* The request ecosystem has been modularized to support different libraries, though for the moment only libcurl is supported.
+It eases handling of HTTP urls, headers and messages, provides 
+means for negotiation of a client's preferred content type, 
+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.
