CurlAxel
========

[](#curlaxel)

> 🐘 PHP based download accelerator ⏬

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

This library is available as a composer package. Will add a standalone version with each release.

### Prerequisites

[](#prerequisites)

You only need php (with curl and mbstring extensions) and composer.

### Installing and using

[](#installing-and-using)

Use composer to install it

```
composer require jaceromri/curl-axel

```

And use it

```
$c = CurlAxel\Factory::create()
    ->setUrl('http://ovh.net/files/1Mio.dat')
    ->setOutput('download.dat');

// Set Additional Curl Options
$c->setCurlOptions([
    CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => false // Disabling SSL Check
]);

$c->download();
```

You can set an other way to handle chunk streams. For instance, there is an in memory chunk handler that would work well if you have issues accessing temp folder in your system

```
$c = CurlAxel\Factory::create('Memory')
    ->setUrl('http://ovh.net/files/1Mio.dat')
    ->setOutput'download.dat');

$c->download();
```

Running the tests
-----------------

[](#running-the-tests)

use phpunit against `tests` folder

```
./vendor/bin/phpunit --bootstrap vendor/autoload.php tests

```

### Coding style tests

[](#coding-style-tests)

use phpcs against `src` folder

```
./vendor/bin/phpcs src

```
