Comment:

 Added a patch that adds a `requests-{$hook}` dynamic hook for WordPress
 usage of Requests internal hooks. Anything in Requests will be mapped to
 this automatically (e.g. `curl.before_send` will be available as
 `requests-curl.before_send`).

 Additionally, it also maps the `curl.before_send` hook to the old
 `http_api_curl` hook.

 Please note: if you're hooking into this, please consider filtering
 something else, as your code won't work if the user doesn't have cURL
 installed. The point of WP_Http is to abstract the need for cURL away, so
 using this hook is a bad idea.
