A [PSR-11](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-11/) compatible service provider that registers a fully functional set of [PSR-18](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-18/) HTTP client using Symfony HttpClient and Psr18Client.

Designed to work out of the box with the [`php-fast-forward/container`](https://github.com/php-fast-forward/container) autowiring system.
