My first attempt was CURL indeed, but it was failing in my machine.
I was able to connect to the script but I couldn't correctly send a Hessian call using POST. I was unable to connect via SSL also, PHP complains that SSL is not supported in this platform. Perhaps I need to recompile the CURL module with OpenSSL in Windows and I rather avoid that step.

Alter a few attempts I gave up and coded a simple HTTP Wrapper around
sockets. I thought this was somehow convenient because it doesn't create the CURL extension dependency and keeps the codebase simple, for now.

In the next revision, I think I will use a CURL wrapper, and if CURL it's not available, it will fall back to simple sockets. I am still thinking in the SSL problem though.

I still have the question about licencing. The C++ library is under GPL but the Python code uses Apache-style licence. How did you choose your type of licence? Can you explain it some more?

Wouldn't CURL have fit the bill here ? For the C++ version I wanted to keep code
and dependencies down to a minimum, while also be able to use SSL, that's why I
wrote a basic HTTP class.

Cool, with PHP5's features that should look pretty smooth.
