Comment (by dd32):

 > I'd still prefer to use cURL personally, since they do have more
 experience with handling this scenario than we are.

 They are, but we're also at the mercy of hosts running severely outdated
 versions of cURL which miss the vital fixes that we can apply to our
 Streams/Socket transport immediately.
