This functionality is not available though the ReactPHP Browser implementation Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) The package is compatible with PHP 8.2+ and requires the cURL extension and [react/event-loop](https://github.com/reactphp/http) library. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can add the library as project dependency using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/): ``` composer require edgetelemetrics/reactphp-http-browser-curl ``` Examples -------- [](#examples) See [/examples](/examples) directory. Examples based on examples from reactphp/http under MIT License Timing ------ [](#timing) Request timing values are returned in the PSR7 Response object headers under the key [Server-Timing](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Server-Timing) Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) The Browser can be configured with standard CURLOPT\_\* parameters given via the constructor. ``` $browser = new Browser([ CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 20, CURLOPT_DOH_URL, 'https://1.1.1.1/dns-query', CURLOPT_DNS_SERVERS => '1.1.1.1', ]); ``` ### Connection Reuse [](#connection-reuse) Each instance of Browser shares a Connection pool, DNS cache, SSL cache, and Cookie Jar. An example of this can be seen in [/examples/connection\_pooling.php](/examples/connection_pooling.php) script. Connection Metadata ------------------- [](#connection-metadata) ### Connection Timing [](#connection-timing) The request/response timing is provided though the header '`ServerTiming`' in the Response object. Each timing point is defined as `;dur=` - namelookup\_time - connect\_time - appconnect\_time - pretransfer\_time - redirect\_time - starttransfer\_time - total\_time ### Connection Details [](#connection-details) Additional request/response metadata is provided though the header '`X-Connection`' in the Response object. Key/Value pairs are as follows: - effective\_url=`` - connection;count=`` - redirect;count=`` - upload;size=``;speed=`` - download;size=``;speed=`` License ------- [](#license) MIT, see [LICENSE file](LICENSE). ### Contributing [](#contributing) Bug reports (and small patches) can be submitted via the [issue tracker](https://github.com/lucasnetau/reactphp-http-browser-curl/issues). Forking the repository and submitting a Pull Request is preferred for substantial patches. ### Health Score 43 — FairBetter than 89% of packages Maintenance78 Regular maintenance activity Popularity19 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity54 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
