WP_Http

Core class used for managing HTTP transports and making HTTP requests.


Description

This class is used to consistently make outgoing HTTP requests easy for developers while still being compatible with the many PHP configurations under which ClassicPress runs.

Debugging includes several actions, which pass different variables for debugging the HTTP API.
