 * Hi,
 * HAL plugin uses hand-written curl routines, instead of taking advantage of WP’s
   own HTTP classes. This prevents the plugin from sanely integrating WP’s global
   configuration. For example, the proxy configuration in WP is ignored, rendering
   the plugin useless in some environments.
 * See: [https://codex.wordpress.org/HTTP_API](https://codex.wordpress.org/HTTP_API)
 * Thank you for the plugin and for your attention on this bug.
