Installation

Install via composer

composer require hedii/http-punch

Usage

Instantiation

Create a http punch instance:

<?php

// require composer autoloader
require '/path/to/vendor/autoload.php';

// instantiate
$puncher = new Hedii\HttpPunch\HttpPunch();

Alternatively, you can pass a request timeout in second (default 30), and a connection timeout in second (default 10):

// instantiate with request and connection timeout as parameters
$puncher = new Hedii\HttpPunch\HttpPunch(20, 5);

Perform an http punch

Call the punch(string $url, string $method = 'get', array $body = []): array method to perform an http punch.

// instantiate
$puncher = new Hedii\HttpPunch\HttpPunch();

// perform a get request
$result = $puncher->punch('http://example.com');

// perform a post request 
$result = $puncher->punch('http://example.com', 'post');

// perform a post request with a given body as an array
$result = $puncher->punch('http://example.com', 'post', ['foo' => 'bar']);

// set the outgoing ip address (it uses CURLOPT_INTERFACE behind the scenes) and perform a get request
$result = $puncher->setIp('192.160.0.101')->punch('http://example.com');

// set an array of request headers and perform a get request
$result = $puncher->setHeaders(['foo' => 'bar'])->punch('http://example.com');

The result of this method is an array with with the http punch report information. The value of success indicates if the website is has successfully responded to the request:

array(5) {
    'url' => "http://example.com"
    'success' => true
    'status_code' => 200
    'message' => "OK"
    'transfer_time' => 0.765217
}

Notice that the url field contains the effective url (in case of redirect response, this is the final url, the status code will be 200 and the message "OK").

The result array
