On Fedora, I had to do 'yum install curl-devel' to avoid missing curl.h error.

Just to add to the above.
I had to install the following in Ubuntu 7.10 .
(otherwise I get a message saying missing curl.h)
# apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
Hope this helps someone the trouble i went into, just to get the http_post_fields function working

The installation guideline is very insufficient. I've installed for Debian lenny/sid with the following step;
apt-get install php5-dev (to enable pecl command)
apt-get install libcurl3 (to get curl support)
apt-get install libmagic
and
pecl install pecl_http
pecl will download and compile but before that just follow the prompt. If the respective development library is not available in your system, the compilation will abort.
After pecl_http got install, copy /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/http.so to /usr/lib/apache2/modules and restart apache
Hopefully this will help others from facing the same hassle for quite sometime.

Don't forget to copy ''http.so'' in the php/modules directory and add ''extension=http.so'' to php.ini.

The "Installation requirements on Windows" are confusing:
If you are a Windows user you need to have the php_curl.dll extension installed before being able to install the php_http.dll extension.
