   5 ## About:
   6
   7 Extended HTTP support. Again. Keep in mind that it's got the major version 2, because it's incompatible with pecl_http v1.
   8
   9 * Introduces the http namespace.
  10 * Message bodies have been remodeled to use PHP temporary streams instead of in-memory buffers.
  11 * The utterly misunderstood HttpResponse class has been reimplemented as http\Env\Response inheriting http\Message.
  12 * Currently, there's only one Exception class left, http\Exception.
  13 * Errors triggered by the extension can be configured statically by http\Object::$defaultErrorHandling or inherited http\Object->errorHandling.
  14 * The request ecosystem has been modularized to support different libraries, though for the moment only libcurl is supported.
