Super simple, very imcomplete, very small wrapper around CURL.

If you need decent cookie handling, use Guzzle etc.

Request
-------

[](#request)

**GET**

```
use rdx\http\HTTP;

$request = HTTP::create('https://api.github.com/gists/public');
$response = $request->request();

```

**POST**

```
use rdx\http\HTTP;

HTTP::$_agent = 'Some custom user agent string 1.0';

$request = HTTP::create('https://api.github.com/gists/public', array(
	'method' => 'POST',
	'data' => array('foo' => 'bar'),
	'headers' => array(
		'Authorization: Basic abc',
	),
	'cookies' => array(
		array('name', 'value'),
	),
));
$response = $request->request();

```

Response
--------

[](#response)

```
var_dump($response->code);   // 200
var_dump($response->status); // OK

print_r($response->cookies_by_name);

```
