Common questions

ext-curl or Guzzle?
ext-curl for scripts and legacy hosting — it's always available. Guzzle for real applications: middleware, promises, PSR-7.
How are file uploads emitted?
ext-curl uses CURLFile with an optional content type. Guzzle uses the multipart option array with fopen streams.
Basic auth?
ext-curl gets CURLOPT_USERPWD; Guzzle gets the 'auth' array with [user, password].
Is my curl sent anywhere?
No. Nothing leaves your browser.
