This one is definitely worth a closer look. It has Adapters, including 
one for using cURL, so the functions can easily be handled by different 
routines.

Also the concept of Observers allows you to do really nice things 
(receivedHeaders observer is activated after the headers are received; 
you can use an observer to save response bodies to disk to save memory).

As Philipp said, getURL can exist as a wrapper for backwards 
compatiblity. And maybe we need a new wrapper to handle things like 
using the correct Adapter depending on Install Tool settings, etc.
