Performs an HTTP request and returns its response.

There are other API functions available which abstract away the HTTP method: - Default 'GET' for wp_remote_get() - Default 'POST' for wp_remote_post() - Default 'HEAD' for wp_remote_head() Important: If the URL is user-controlled, use wp_safe_remote_request() instead.
