Description:
------------
I have a long running HTTP client script, which retrieves several pages. The pages are fairly medium to large in size and quickly add up to using all of the PHP allocated memory. I modified the link-checker.php sample script to demonstrate the memory usage.

PEAR::Client version 1.0
no php.ini changes

Reproduce code:
---------------
By modifying the sample link-checker.php from line 86:

while (true) {
print ('Retrieving http://www.php.net...');
$client->get('http://www.php.net/');
print ('Memory usage: '.memory_get_usage()."\n");
sleep (5);
}
/*
foreach ($urlList as $url) {
$client->head($url);
}

var_dump($checker->getResults());
*/

Expected result:
----------------
$ php link-checker.php
Retrieving http://www.php.net...Memory usage: 539168
Retrieving http://www.php.net...Memory usage: 581560
Retrieving http://www.php.net...Memory usage: 624000
Retrieving http://www.php.net...Memory usage: 666440
Retrieving http://www.php.net...Memory usage: 708880

Okay, cool! That helps a boat load! It'd be nice if this function is in doc. Thanks.
