As I said, I don't want to use that name, because it implies more

to curl.
Then how about "external-http-client"?  That says it is a client for
HTTP using an external program, but doesn't mention curl by name.


Since the bikeshed is in full swing: IMHO both 'curl' and 'external-http-client' are not great options because using curl (or any external lib or program) to accomplish the goal is a means to an end, or perhaps even a downside of this package, rather than its end goal (which is, I'm guessing, to provide a nicer and reliable API for making HTTP requests).
