HTTP request method uses HTTP extension to retrieve the url.

Requires the HTTP extension to be installed. This would be the preferred transport since it can handle a lot of the problems that forces the others to use the HTTP version 1.0. Even if PHP 5.2+ is being used, it doesn't mean that the HTTP extension will be enabled.
