Transition all fsockopen, fopen, and curl to HTTP API

[jacobsantos]

Ticket is for transitioning the remaining functions over to the HTTP API. This does not include the dependencies on Snoopy, but it might in the future. It also does not include the SSL remote URL check, I'm not sure how to achieve that using the API (look for 200 maybe and check that URL was not redirected, maybe).

Supercedes #7224, #7676, and #7751.

Discussion on removing Snoopy can also begin. I'll start, basically since Magpie requires it, it might be best to leave it alone. The core of WordPress now doesn't use it (I'll confirm that), so it might not make sense refactoring an external library to use a WordPress one.

HTTP API transition based on r8984

[jacobsantos]

Needs crazy amount of testing.

(In [9011]) Move the link timestamp updater to the new HTTP api. See #7793 props jacobsantos.

[westi]

(In [9012]) Move the pingbacks and trackbacks to the new HTTP api. See #7793 props jacobsantos.

[westi]

(In [9013]) Move the old simple http method to use the new HTTP api. See #7793 props jacobsantos.

converts download_url() from snoopy to the new HTTP API

[DD32]

download_url() from snoopy -> HTTP API (Attempt 2..)

[ryan]

(In [9142]) Convert download_url() to http api. Props DD32. see #7793

[ryan]

download_url() now fails for me. It returns a 0 length file when downloading the nightly build. Get transport is curl. Post transport is streams.

[ryan]

Response is:

array(3) { ["headers"]=>  array(0) { } ["body"]=>  string(0) "" ["response"]=>  array(2) { ["code"]=>  int(200) ["message"]=>  string(2) "OK" } } 

[DD32]

sounds like you might have a problem with the curl transport, as its working for me with the HTTP Extension. I'll have a look at if i get a chance today

[ryan]

curl_error() says:

Operation timed out after 3000 milliseconds with 1350984 out of 1815410 bytes received

[westi]

3 seconds is the default timeout for the curl HTTP transport

[ryan]

[9185]

[ryan]

(In [9186]) Give downloads a longer timeout. see #7793

[jacobsantos]

Should that be the rest of it? I'm not sure if you want to convert Magpie over to the HTTP API or not, but that should be the only one left. I didn't do a search for Snoopy, but I think I will for 2.8.

[ryan]

Let's call it done for 2.7.
