Simple, but nice replacement for open-uri library (which uses rather slow Net::HTTP library) which uses libcurl (via curb).
It’s easy to swap the original one just by replacing ‘require open-uri’ with ‘require curb-openuri’. Should work as the original, even with better defaults (which, of course, can be changed).
