Buzy is an HTTP client for PHP built on top of Symfony2 components
==================================================================

[](#buzy-is-an-http-client-for-php-built-on-top-of-symfony2-components)

This is a work in progress project. The goal is to build an efficient and robust library on top of Symfony2 HttpFoundation (Request and Response).

Unit tested with PHPUnit [![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/18e153e5778be78e09638abe1e4399d911a770bc8060ee9ada2b5ec462a0ef00/68747470733a2f2f7365637572652e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f47726f6d4e614e2f42757a792e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](http://travis-ci.org/GromNaN/Buzy)

Todo:

- HTTP cache listener to skip not necessary requests.
- CURL client
- Proxy support
- History listener
- Logger listener

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 5.3 +
- Symfony HttpFoundation
- Symfony EventDispatcher
- Symfony BrowserKit (for CookieJar)
- Curl Extension (not yet)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$browser = new Buzy\Browser();
$response = $browser->get('http://www.google.com');

echo $response;
```

You can also use the low-level HTTP classes directly.

```
$request = Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request::create('http://google.com', 'GET');
$response = new Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response();

$client = new Buzy\Client\FileGetContents();
$client->send($request, $response);

echo $request;
echo $response;
```

Simple reverse proxy
--------------------

[](#simple-reverse-proxy)

With this 5 lines of code, you can re-send a request and transfert the response.

```
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Buzy\Browser;

$request = Request::createFromGlobals();
$request->server->set('HTTP_HOST', 'internal-server');

$browser = new Browser();

$response = $browser->send($request);

$response->send();

// The response is sent back to the client
```

Licence
