README

⚠️ DEPRECATED — Use initphp/http instead

As part of the InitPHP package consolidation, this package has been merged into initphp/http starting with version 2.2. The consolidated package ships its own PSR-18 client that talks to ext-curl directly — no separate cURL wrapper is required.

This repository is kept read-only for historical reference. No further updates will be released.

Why this package no longer works

The standalone \InitPHP\HTTPClient\Client was written against initphp/http:^1.x, which used the flat \InitPHP\HTTP\* namespace. In initphp/http:^2.0 those classes moved to \InitPHP\HTTP\Message\*, so this package's use statements no longer resolve. It is effectively broken against any current version of initphp/http.

Migration

Drop the dependency and use the canonical client shipped in initphp/http:

- "initphp/http-client": "^1.0",
- "initphp/http": "^1.0",
+ "initphp/http": "^2.2"

Code change:

// Before
use InitPHP\HTTPClient\Client;
use InitPHP\HTTP\Request;

$client   = new Client(['timeout' => 0]);
$request  = new Request('GET', 'https://example.com');
$response = $client->sendRequest($request);

// After
use InitPHP\HTTP\Client\Client;
use InitPHP\HTTP\Message\Request;

$client   = new Client();
$request  = new Request('GET', 'https://example.com');
$response = $client->sendRequest($request);

See the HTTP README — Migrating from initphp/http-client for option-by-option translation notes.

It is HTTP Client library following Psr-18 standards. It uses cURL for HTTP requests.
