### Using cURL

[](#using-curl)

If you're using a cURL based HttpClient like the `CurlHttpClient`, you will want to include the cacert.pem file that can be found at

You can add this as a dependency in your composer file. Your `composer.json`might look something like this:

```
{
  "require": {
    "offshoot/http": "0.1.x",
    "haxx-se/curl": "1.0.0"
  },
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "package",
      "package": {
        "name": "haxx-se/curl",
        "version": "1.0.0",
        "dist": {
          "url": "http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem",
          "type": "file"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

```

You will be able to find the cacert.pem file in `vendor/haxx-se/curl/cacert.pem`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$pathToCertificateFile = "vendor/haxx-se/curl/cacert.pem";
$httpClient = new \Offshoot\HttpClient\CurlHttpClient($pathToCertificateFile);

$redirector = new \Offshoot\Redirector\HeaderRedirector();

```
