[![Semperton](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/semperton/.github/main/readme-logo.svg)](https://github.com/semperton)Semperton Proxy
===============

[](#semperton-proxy)

Simple PSR-18 HTTP client based on PHP's native stream socket.

---

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

[](#installation)

Just use Composer:

```
composer require semperton/proxy

```

Proxy requires PHP 7.1+

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The client does not come with a PSR-17 request/response factory by itself. You have to provide one in the constructor.

```
use HttpSoft\Message\ResponseFactory;
use Semperton\Proxy\Client;

$client new Client(
	new ResponseFactory(), // any PSR-17 compilant response factory
	5, // request timeout in secs
	$options, // array of stream context options
	4096 // buffer size used to read/write request body
);
```

The client exposes only one public method `sendRequest`:

```
use HttpSoft\Message\RequestFactory;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;

$requestFactory = new RequestFactory();
$request = $requestFactory->createRequest('GET', 'https://google.com');

$response = $client->sendRequest($request);

$response instanceof ResponseInterface // true
```

Note
----

[](#note)

This is just a very simple HTTP client for single requests. If you are going to do heavy API work (multiple asynchronous requests, body parsing, etc.), you should consider using `guzzlehttp/guzzle` or `symfony/http-client`.
