HTTP client library of the PHP Ride framework.

What's In This Library

Client

The Client interface lets you implement an HTTP client.

Out of the box, the cURL implementation is provided through the CurlClient class

Request

The Request class adds authentication and other client options to the default HTTP request.

Code Sample

Check the following code sample to see how this library should be used:

<?php

use ride\library\http\client\CurlClient;
use ride\library\http\client\Client;
use ride\library\http\HttpFactory;
use ride\library\log\Log;

function createHttpClient(HttpFactory $httpFactory, Log $log) {
    $client = new CurlClient($httpFactory);
    
    // optionally set a log, to follow the communication of the client
    $client->setLog($log);

    // set some basic options
    $client->setTimeout(3);
    $client->setFollowLocation(true);
    $client->setUserAgent('My-UserAgent');    

    // use authentication for the requests
    $client->setAuthenticationMethod('basic');
    $client->setAuthenticationMethod('digest');
    $client->setUsername('my-username');
    $client->setPassword('my-password');
    
    // use a proxy
    $client->setProxy('http://url.to/some-proxy);
    
    return $client;
}

function sendRequests(Client $client) {
    // shortcuts for simple requests
    $response = $client->get('http://www.google.com');
    $response = $client->get('http://www.google.com', array('Cache-Control' => 'no-cache'));
    $response = $client->head('http://www.google.com');
    $response = $client->head('http://www.google.com', array('Cache-Control' => 'no-cache'));
    
    // simple post request
    $response = $client->post('http://www.google.com');
    // with body
    $response = $client->post('http://www.google.com', array('q' => 'search string'));
    // and headers
    $response = $client->post('http://www.google.com', array('q' => 'search string'), array('Accept' => '*/*'));
    
    // the same for put and delete
    $response = $client->put('http://www.google.com');
    $response = $client->put('http://www.google.com', array('q' => 'search string'));
    $response = $client->put('http://www.google.com', array('q' => 'search string'), array('Accept' => '*/*'));
    $response = $client->delete('http://www.google.com', array('q' => 'search string'), array('Accept' => '*/*'));
    
    // you can create your own request and tune it before sending it out
    $request = $client->createRequest('https://www.google.com');
    $request->setFollowLocation($followLocation);
    $request->setAuthenticationMethod('basic');
    $request->setUsername('my-username');
    $request->setPassword('my-password');
    
    $response = $client->sendRequest($request);
    
    // handle response
    if ($response->isOk()) {
        $contentType = $response->getHeader('Content-Type');
        $body = $response->getBody();
    } else {
        $statusCode = $response->getStatusCode();
        switch ($statusCode) {
            case 403:
                // forbidden
                break;
            // and more
        }
    }
