Install
-------

[](#install)

Install package with composer

```
composer require hugsbrugs/php-http

```

In your PHP code, load librairy

```
require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
use Hug\Http\Http as Http;
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

In order to use cache mechanism, define following constants

```
define('PDP_PDO_DSN', 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=database');
define('PDP_PDO_USER', 'username');
define('PDP_PDO_PASS', 'password');
define('PDP_PDO_OPTIONS', [PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION]);
```

Alternatively define path to the local stored [public suffix list](https://publicsuffix.org/list/public_suffix_list.dat)

```
define('PUBLIC_SUFFIX_LIST', realpath(__DIR__ . '/../../../cache/public_suffix_list.dat'));
```

This method should not be used in production since it's really slow.

Otherwise the default, not accurate, cache/public\_suffix\_list.dat file will be used.
