It uses \Magento\Framework\HTTP\Adapter\Curl:

magento/magento2/blob/c58d2d/app/code/Magento/AdminNotification/Model/Feed.php#L203-L223


$curl = $this->curlFactory->create();
$curl->setConfig(
    [
        'timeout'   => 2,
        'useragent' => $this->productMetadata->getName()
            . '/' . $this->productMetadata->getVersion()
            . ' (' . $this->productMetadata->getEdition() . ')',
        'referer'   => $this->urlBuilder->getUrl('*/*/*')
    ]
);
$curl->write(\Zend_Http_Client::GET, $this->getFeedUrl(), '1.0');
$data = $curl->read();
if ($data === false) {
    return false;
}
$data = preg_split('/^\r?$/m', $data, 2);
$data = trim($data[1]);
$curl->close();


try {
    $xml = new \SimpleXMLElement($data);
