 I looked at the code base and it seems that the WP_Http class is of need
 of refactoring. The goal is to allow for the arguments in the request
 method to be used within any transport separately of the main WP_Http
 class.

 It overhauls the request and headers, creating at least two new classes
 for managing both respectively. Backwards compatibility will be maintained
 even though, people shouldn't be calling the main classes, the API has
 already been established and supporting the API won't be difficult and
 time consuming from the changes.

 The change will also allow for replacing or extending the code to allow
 for a plugin to replace the code base. It is debatable whether anyone will
 do this or if this should be one of the "features."
