Http class to return helpful error messages. There's an

or failure, not a helpful message why it failed, which
could be 404, timeout, etc.
You know, we could correct that. :)
Got any suggestions on good UI and internal interface?

I'm in favor of making Http a little less static and having getErrorCode()-esque
methods so we can more accurately error out to users. That being said, the
file_get_contents() fallback is what is holding us back here mainly, as it's
severely crippled in terms of what it can do compared to cURL.
