How to use:

```
$req = new \Simplon\Request\Request();

$response = new \Simplon\Request\RequestResponse();

// set additional headers for request
$req->setRequestHeaders( [
	'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0',
	'Accept-Language: en-US,en'
] );

// set request and response headers log file
// by default log file name -  headers_log.txt
$req->setLog();

$response = $req->get(URL, $data); 			// $data - array with variables for GET request

$location = $response->getHeader()->getLocation();	// if redirect

$type = $response->getHeader()->getContentType(); 	// return type of server response

if($response->getHeader()->isJson()) echo 'IsJson'; 	// check response type

$charset = $response->getHeader()->getCharset();	// return charset of response when Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

$http_headers = $response->getHeader()->getHttpHeadersArray();
var_dump( $http_headers );				// show array of http headers of response

$html =  $response->getContent();
echo $html; 						// show server response without headers
```
