You can use custom methods here if you use the undocumented HttpRequest::methodRegister()
<?php
HttpRequest::methodRegister('foobar');
$r = new HttpRequest('http://www.php.net', HttpRequest::METH_FOOBAR);
?>

I found that by not having a trailing slash (e.g. "http://www.google.com"), HttpRequest would tack on the URI of the script I was currently accessing.
An easy way to prevent this from happening is to include a trailing slash in the url. This way, "http://www.google.com" becomes "http://www.google.com/".
