The smallest possible OOP wrapper for PHP's curl capabilities.

Note that this is **not** meant as a high-level abstraction. You should still know how "pure PHP" curl works, you need to know the curl options to set, and you need to know some HTTP basics.

```
$curl = new anlutro\cURL\cURL;

$response = $curl->get('http://www.google.com');

// easily build an url with a query string
$url = $curl->buildUrl('http://www.google.com', ['s' => 'curl']);
$response = $curl->get($url);

// the post, put and patch methods takes an array of POST data
$response = $curl->post($url, ['api_key' => 'my_key', 'post' => 'data']);

// add "json" to the start of the method to convert the data to a JSON string
// and send the header "Content-Type: application/json"
$response = $curl->jsonPost($url, ['post' => 'data']);

// if you don't want any conversion to be done to the provided data, for example
// if you want to post an XML string, add "raw" to the start of the method
$response = $curl->rawPost($url, '
