Answer 1

Just to elaborate slightly on Alex's answer, unless I missed something, the Php Manuel doesn't really reflect how this extension has changed. And the link in the comment on your question doesn't seem to work anymore. I think what you want now, to get that same behavior, is http\Client::send().
