**HTTPlug, the HTTP client abstraction for PHP.**

Intro
-----

[](#intro)

HTTP client standard built on [PSR-7](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/) HTTP messages. The HttpAsyncClient defines an asynchronous HTTP client for PHP.

This package also provides a synchronous HttpClient interface with the same method signature as the [PSR-18](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-18/) client. For synchronous requests, we recommend using PSR-18 directly.

History
-------

[](#history)

HTTPlug is the official successor of the [ivory http adapter](https://github.com/egeloen/ivory-http-adapter). HTTPlug is a predecessor of [PSR-18](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-18/)

Install
-------
