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

[](#installation)

`composer require weew/http-client`

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

Please check out the HTTP Layer project referenced above, since it does most of the work and offers a documentation for the underlying HttpRequest and HttpResponse objects.

This library uses CURL to transfer and receive data.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Below is a very basic example on how to use it.

```
$client = new HttpClient();
$request = new HttpRequest(
    HttpRequestMethod::GET, new Url('http://google.com')
);

// returns an HttpResponse
$response = $client->send($request);

// send response directly to the browser (act like a proxy)
$response->send();
```

JsonClient
----------

[](#jsonclient)

There is a slightly different implementation of the `HttpClient` that is meant to be used whenever you are sure that you will always receive json responses. `JsonClient` will automatically cast `HttpResponse` to a `JsonResponse`.

```
$client = new JsonClient();
```
