`kodus/http-client`
===================

[](#kodushttp-client)

Minimalist [PSR-18](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-18/) HTTP Client.

[![PHP Version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/e6556d680d7fcf917890d04219d10f99ae03b29748d031fba63cb2e2538efeea/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f62616467652f7068702d372e312532422d626c75652e737667)](https://packagist.org/packages/kodus/http-client)[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/e70c0d44cfe7d2055d14386f767342115a2ef3ea60943a10c8801c915c4d445b/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6b6f6475732f687474702d636c69656e742e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/kodus/http-client)[![Code Coverage](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b5c0c448805673204469eabca43a3be71200e881919c31ec4edb93322ec4fbb2/68747470733a2f2f7363727574696e697a65722d63692e636f6d2f672f6b6f6475732f687474702d636c69656e742f6261646765732f636f7665726167652e706e673f623d6d6173746572)](https://scrutinizer-ci.com/g/kodus/http-client/?branch=master)

- No dependencies beyond [PSR-17](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-17/) HTTP Factory implementations
- Streaming response: suitable for fetching large responses.
- Accepts and decodes `gzip` encoded response content.

Note that this client does not follow redirects: PSR-18 doesn't specify - but this is a client, not a browser, and it's designed to be bootstrapped as a service instance: some dependents may need to know the status-code of the actual response; automatically following redirects makes that impossible.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Basic example using [`nyholm/psr7`](https://packagist.org/packages/nyholm/psr7):

```
use Kodus\Http\HttpClient;
use Nyholm\Psr7\Factory\Psr17Factory;

// Bootstrap the client:

$http = new Psr17Factory();

$client = new HttpClient($http, $http);

// Perform a request:

$response = $client->sendRequest(
    $http->createRequest("GET", "https://postman-echo.com/get?foo=bar")
);
```

Please refer to [PSR-18 documentation](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-18/) for details.
