Comment:

 From WordPress' perspective, the transport is Requests, which is why I set
 it to that. (Also avoids bad plugins assuming that they can use a class
 based on the transport.) Requests exposes the transport it's using via
 [http://requests.ryanmccue.info/api/source-class-Requests.html#144-181
 Requests::get_transport()], unless it has been overridden in the options
 passed in.

 Right now, there's no way of getting the transport that was used for a
 request back out. We ''could'' save the options on the response object,
 but that seems like it could easily cause a memory leak.

 Any ideas how best to handle this?
