(This is for when #933 is merged)
Under bundled_libs/Net/ we now only have Net/URL.php, Net/URL2.php and Net/Socket.php. All of these files are very old and (to be checked again) not used in the core. There is very little usage I saw in spartacus:
- Net_Socket is used in serendipity_plugin_ggopis
- serendipity_plugin_flickr uses a bundled version of Net_Socket and Net_URL
It seems to me like the URL classes are leftovers from when HTTP/Request was bundled and they should be removed. Net/URL2 has a copy under pear/net_url2, Net/URL.php ought to be defunct. See also #399, where we moved s9y itself to HTTP/Request2. The independent usage of Net_Socket is also likely void, neither library nor plugin are likely to still work, but this is to be investigated before.
