While testing my Bz client with Sumana, I discovered that the code doesn't work without the curl extension installed. Must investigate why the pure-php version doesn't on php 5.3.3
First check if you're encountering bug 29231 on a version or branch before it was fixed. (https was accidentally disabled)
Adding Sumana as cc so she can try to reproduce this. To repro, uninstall php-curl, svn up your mediawiki install and try again. If it works, close this bug and let us know what happened.
btw, I just double checked I could GET a bugzilla page (this one specificly) using MW's php http request thingy From eval.php I did Http::$httpEngine = 'php'; echo Http::get('https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29406'); Anyways, I can confirm that that worked correctly. (I'm not sure what exactly you were doing, so that could be totally irrelevant to your issue). Also, I believe https won't work with the php client unless php is compiled with openssl support.
Resolving as WORKSFORME; no repros or further info in three months.
