bee4/httpclient

A simple chainable HTTP client. Built for intensive HTTP calls!

bee4/transport

, _(*1)

, _(*2)

This library is a transport client that can be used to handle HTTP, FTP, FTPS, SFTP, SCP calls. All protocols are processed the same way and the API is a simple Request > Response mechanism., _(*3)

It is inspired by the Guzzle 3 implementation with a simpler approach (no curl_multi, no SSL...), just Request and Response handling. For the moment cURL is the only implementation and all Requests options are CURL_* options..., _(*4)

Installing

, _(*5)

This project can be installed using Composer. Add the following to your composer.json:, _(*6)

{
    "require": {
        "bee4/transport": "~1.2"
    }
}

or run this command:, _(*7)

composer require bee4/transport:~1.2

Example

You must create a Client instance then built the request and send it to retrieve the response., _(*8)

<?php
$client = new Bee4\Transport\MagicHandler();
$request = $client->get('http://www.example.com', ['Accept: text/html']);
$response = $request->send();

$respose->getStatusMessage(); //Retrieve the status definition example: 301 Moved Permanently
$respose->getBody(); //Retrieve response content

//The same is possible with FTP
$request = $client->head('ftp://user@pass:host.com/path')->send();
//Remove a file
$client->delete('ftp://user@pass:host.com/path/to/file.php')->send();

//And SFTP - Upload a file
$client->put('sftp://user@pass:host.com/path/to/file.php')
  ->setBody('File content here')
  ->send();

A mapping is done between HTTP methods name and client calls to maintain the same API :, _(*9)

• head is used to check if the resource is here ;
• get is used to retrieve a resource ;
• put is used to upload a resource ;
• delete is used to remove a resource.

Others method are handled only by HTTP: POST, _(*10)
