HTTPUtility
===========

[](#httputility)

[![PHP Version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b8a795120c5532cd2ac4abba74592c798be1eef6dfb123f81e8792b8fea4c84b/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f62616467652f7068702d382e302b2d627269676874677265656e2e737667)](https://www.php.net/)

HTTPUtility is a lightweight PHP library providing HTTP utilities, including **Basic and Digest authentication handling**, and tools for parsing HTTP headers.

This library was originally created to **support MJPEG Restreaming** from cameras that only support **Digest authentication**, as no existing solution fit this use case at the time. It is still useful for any REST API or HTTP client requiring authenticated requests.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Parse raw HTTP headers into structured arrays.
- Extract HTTP response codes and statuses.
- Parse `WWW-Authenticate` headers.
- Handle **Basic authentication** headers.
- Handle **Digest authentication** headers including `nonce`, `cnonce`, and `qop`.
- Build authorization headers for HTTP clients.
- Compatible with any PHP project using PHP 8+.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via Composer:

```
composer require iamxnuel/http-utility
```
