Request_Client_External provides a wrapper for all external request processing. This class should be extended by all drivers handling external requests.
Supported out of the box: - Curl (default) - PECL HTTP - Streams
To select a specific external driver to use as the default driver, set the following property within the Application bootstrap. Alternatively, the client can be injected into the request object.
// In application bootstrapRequest_Client_External::$client='Request_Client_Stream';// Add client to request->client(Request_Client_External::factory('Request_Client_HTTP));
Class declared in SYSPATH/classes/request/client/external.php on line 3.

Processes the request, executing the controller action that handles this request, determined by the Route.
By default, the output from the controller is captured and returned, and no headers are sent.

Factory method to create a new Request_Client_External object based on the client name passed, or defaulting to Request_Client_External::$client by default.
Request_Client_External::$client can be set in the application bootstrap.
