CakePHP Http Library
====================

[](#cakephp-http-library)

This library provides a PSR-15 Http middleware server, PSR-7 Request and Response objects, PSR-17 HTTP Factories, and PSR-18 Http Client. Together these classes let you handle incoming server requests and send outgoing HTTP requests.

Using the Http Client
---------------------

[](#using-the-http-client)

Sending requests is straight forward. Doing a GET request looks like:

```
use Cake\Http\Client;

$http = new Client();

// Simple get
$response = $http->get('http://example.com/test.html');

// Simple get with querystring
$response = $http->get('http://example.com/search', ['q' => 'widget']);

// Simple get with querystring & additional headers
$response = $http->get('http://example.com/search', ['q' => 'widget'], [
  'headers' => ['X-Requested-With' => 'XMLHttpRequest'],
]);
```

To learn more read the [Http Client documentation](https://book.cakephp.org/5/en/core-libraries/httpclient.html).

Using the Http Server
---------------------

[](#using-the-http-server)

The Http Server allows an `HttpApplicationInterface` to process requests and emit responses. To get started first implement the `Cake\Http\HttpApplicationInterface` A minimal example could look like:

```
namespace App;

use Cake\Core\HttpApplicationInterface;
use Cake\Http\MiddlewareQueue;
use Cake\Http\Response;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;

class Application implements HttpApplicationInterface
{
    /**
     * Load all the application configuration and bootstrap logic.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function bootstrap(): void
    {
        // Load configuration here. This is the first
        // method Cake\Http\Server will call on your application.
    }

    /**
     * Define the HTTP middleware layers for an application.
     *
     * @param \Cake\Http\MiddlewareQueue $middlewareQueue The middleware queue to set in your App Class
     * @return \Cake\Http\MiddlewareQueue
     */
    public function middleware(MiddlewareQueue $middlewareQueue): MiddlewareQueue
    {
        // Add middleware for your application.
        return $middlewareQueue;
    }

    /**
     * Handle incoming server request and return a response.
     *
     * @param \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface $request The request
     * @return \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface
     */
    public function handle(ServerRequestInterface $request): ResponseInterface
    {
        return new Response(['body'=>'Hello World!']);
    }
}
```

Once you have an application with some middleware. You can start accepting requests. In your application's webroot, you can add an `index.php` and process requests:

```
