replace curl for gae

[heisenbol]

I'm trying to use the twitter strategy on Google App Engine, but it doesn't work due to lack of curl support.

As I see that other strategies (facebook and google for instance) do no use curl, I'm wondering how easy it would be to replace curl with PHPs native methods.

I've already tried purl (a curl replacement library for PHP at https://github.com/azayarni/purl) but although the author was so kind to add some of the missing functionality, it still does not work for me.
