[](#differences-from-httpsgithubcomphp-httpcurl-client)

- Support custom method, such as "MOVE", "COPY", "PROPFIND", "MKCOL" etc. (it is actual by operation with WebDav)
- Fixed supports transmission of big bodies (upload and download).
- Full support of native streaming filters, such as 'zlib.deflate' etc.
- Fixed bug with queues in async request.
- Doesn't lead to hangup of the server, in case of the inexact size of a flow.
- More friendly api.
- Inheritance support.
- You can use options "CURLOPT\_READFUNCTION" and "CURLOPT\_WRITEFUNCTION".
- Support of an native option "CURLOPT\_FOLLOWLOCATION". (if you need support cookie with redirect - use "CURLOPT\_COOKIEJAR" and "CURLOPT\_COOKIEFILE")
- Support send "PSR-7 Response".
- More correct support of header "Expect"

Quickstart

[](#quickstart)

```
use Http\Message\MessageFactory\DiactorosMessageFactory;
use Http\Message\StreamFactory\DiactorosStreamFactory;

$client = new Mackey\Http\Client\Curl\Client(new DiactorosMessageFactory(), new DiactorosStreamFactory(), [
  // array, set default curl options, if you need
  CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false
]);
```

Send request

```
$request = new Zend\Diactoros\Request('', 'GET');

$response = $client->sendRequest($request, [
  // curl options for 1 request, if you need
  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true
]);
```

Send async request

```
$request = new Zend\Diactoros\Request('', 'GET');

$promise = $client->sendAsyncRequest($request);
$promise->then(
  function (ResponseInterface $response) {
    // The success callback

    return $response;
  },
  function (\Exception $exception) {
    // The failure callback

    throw $exception;
  }
);

// other request
// $promise = $client->sendAsyncRequest($request);

try {
    $response = $promise->wait();
} catch (\Exception $exception) {
    echo $exception->getMessage();
}
```

Send response

```
// example just send file in output
$stream = new \Zend\Diactoros\Stream('file/to/send.txt');
$response = new \Zend\Diactoros\Response($stream, 200);

$client->sendResponse($response);

// or send for download
$response = $response->withHeader('Content-Description', 'File Transfer')
    ->withHeader('Content-Type', 'application/octet-stream')
    ->withHeader('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename=filename.txt')
