PHP-Http
========

[](#php-http)

A helper package used by other Secure Trading packages.

`Securetrading\Http\Curl` provides a wrapper around the core PHP cURL functions that contains connection retry and logging logic. A `\Securetrading\Http\CurlException` is thrown if the call it makes to `curl_exec()` fails.

# $configData is a multidimensional array of config options.

```

```
array(
    'url' => '',
    'user_agent' => '',
    'ssl_verify_peer' => true,
    'ssl_verify_host' => 2,
    'connect_timeout' => 5,

    'connect_attempts' => 20,
    'connect_attempts_timeout' => 40,
);

```

Call `send($requestMethod, $requestBody = '')` to make HTTP requests.

`get()` and `post($requestBody = '')` helper methods have also been provided for GET and POST HTTP requests.
