InitPHP HTTP Client
===================

[](#initphp-http-client)

> ## ⚠️ DEPRECATED — Use [`initphp/http`](https://github.com/InitPHP/HTTP) instead
>
> [](#️-deprecated--use-initphphttp-instead)
>
> As part of the InitPHP package consolidation, **this package has been merged into [`initphp/http`](https://github.com/InitPHP/HTTP) starting with version 2.2.** The consolidated package ships its own PSR-18 client that talks to `ext-curl` directly — no separate cURL wrapper is required.
>
> This repository is kept read-only for historical reference. **No further updates will be released.**
>
> ### Why this package no longer works
>
> [](#why-this-package-no-longer-works)
>
> The standalone `\InitPHP\HTTPClient\Client` was written against `initphp/http:^1.x`, which used the flat `\InitPHP\HTTP\*` namespace. In `initphp/http:^2.0` those classes moved to `\InitPHP\HTTP\Message\*`, so this package's `use` statements no longer resolve. It is effectively broken against any current version of `initphp/http`.
>
> ### Migration
>
> [](#migration)
>
> Drop the dependency and use the canonical client shipped in `initphp/http`:
>
> ```
> - "initphp/http-client": "^1.0",
> - "initphp/http": "^1.0",
> + "initphp/http": "^2.2"
> ```
>
>
>
> Code change:
>
> ```
> // Before
> use InitPHP\HTTPClient\Client;
> use InitPHP\HTTP\Request;
>
> $client   = new Client(['timeout' => 0]);
> $request  = new Request('GET', 'https://example.com');
> $response = $client->sendRequest($request);
>
> // After
> use InitPHP\HTTP\Client\Client;
> use InitPHP\HTTP\Message\Request;
>
> $client   = new Client();
> $request  = new Request('GET', 'https://example.com');
> $response = $client->sendRequest($request);
> ```
>
