Installing/Configuring
Warning: The libmagic link above links to an abandoned SourceForge project where the most recent version is from 2000. Needless to say, pecl_http will not actually work with this version. The symptom of this is a compiler error saying MAGIC_MIME is undeclared.
The latest version of libmagic, according to Wikipedia, is contained in the "file" utility, and can be acquired here: http://www.darwinsys.com/file/
After installing the above source (which incidentally assumes gcc 4+, and requires replacing s/-Wext/-W/g in its configure file for older compilers), I was able to compile pecl_http.
Requirements
The HttpResponse class requires at least PHP v5.1. Any other class is available as of PHP v5.0.
