Description:

This is a dynamic shared object (DSO) for PHP that will add curl support.

PHP supports libcurl, a library created by Daniel Stenberg, that allows you to
connect and communicate to many different types of servers with many different
types of protocols. libcurl currently supports the http, https, ftp, gopher,
telnet, dict, file, and ldap protocols. libcurl also supports HTTPS
certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading (this can also be done with
PHP's ftp extension), HTTP form based upload, proxies, cookies, and
user+password authentication.
