In my opinion when moving this to core the http(s):// stream should use
the same HTTP implementation so one has consistent behavior.

I also see that HTTP offers "Content type guessing [...] by building
this extension with libmagic support" I think that should based on
fileinfo so both report the same type for a file. Again consistency.

I also think the HTTP module should be forced on (like SPL or pcre) or
at least be on by default (unless --disable-[all|http] is used)
