Usage

```

$httpFox = new HttpFox();

// GET request
$response = $httpFox->getURL('https://example.com');
echo $response;

// POST request
$postData = ['name' => 'John', 'email' => 'john@example.com'];
$response = $httpFox->sendPost('https://example.com/api', $postData);

// Enable or disable cookie files
$httpFox->useCookieFile(true);

// Set a custom cookie directory
$httpFox->setCookiePath('/path/to/cookies');

// Set proxy
$httpFox->setProxy('127.0.0.1', 8080, 'username', 'password');

// Disable SSL verification (not recommended in production)
$httpFox->disableSSL(true);

// Set a PFX certificate
try {
    $httpFox->setPFX('/path/to/certificate.pfx', 'password');
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    echo 'Error: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
