HTTP method override service

This library allows you to override HTTP method using HTTP header ie. `X-HTTP-Method-Override`. Why? Because some clients cannot send non-standard methods like ie. `LINK`. It can be used as PSR-7 middeware or Zend Framework 2 module.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require rstgroup/http-method-override

```

Check suggested dependencies in [composer.json](composer.json) and add it to your dependencies.

You need to configure how it's possible to override methods. To do that you need to create/modify configuration provided by service which must exists in your dependecy container (as `config` key):

```
return [
    'rst_group' => [
        'http_method_override' => [
            'map' => [
                'POST' => ['LINK', 'PUT'],
            ],
            'override_headers' => [],
        ],
    ],
];
```

It will add ability to use POST method as LINK or PUT. You can override it using given request:

```
POST http://example.com/page
X-HTTP-Method-Override: PUT

```

`override_headers` allow you to define own header to override.

### Specific installation for PSR-7 middeware

[](#specific-installation-for-psr-7-middeware)

Use [Expressive Configuration Manager](https://github.com/mtymek/expressive-config-manager) to add library config. After this you can enable middleware in your middleware-stack using `RstGroup\HttpMethodOverride\HttpMethodOverrideMiddleware`service name in your container.

### Specific installation for Zend Framework 2 & 3

[](#specific-installation-for-zend-framework-2--3)

Add module `RstGroup\HttpMethodOverride` to `application.config.php` file.
