This repository holds the interface for new http factories that return a [PSR-18 (HTTP Client)](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-18) client.

Note that this is not a HTTP Client Factory implementation. For an example, checkout the [Guzzle Client Factory](https://packagist.org/packages/einar-hansen/guzzle-client-factory)
