Artax ⋅ An Asynchronous HTTP Client for PHP

This package has been replaced by http-client

Artax is an asynchronous HTTP/1.1 client for PHP based on Amp. Its API simplifies standards-compliant HTTP resource traversal and RESTful web service consumption without obscuring the underlying protocol. The library manually implements HTTP over TCP sockets; as such it has no dependency on ext/curl.

Installation

composer require amphp/artax

Usage

The main interaction point with this library is DefaultClient. It implements all basic HTTP features and some more advanced ones such as cookies. It implements the Client interface that can be used to implement other clients, such as a wrapper that provides caching. Consumers should always declare the Client interface as a type.

Basic HTTP Request

In its simplest form, Artax takes an URL as string and interprets that as a GET request to that resource without any custom headers. Standard headers like Accept, Connection or Host will automatically be added if not present.

$client = new Amp\Artax\DefaultClient;

$response = yield $client->request("https://httpbin.org/get");

var_dump($response->getStatus());
var_dump($response->getHeaders());

// Response::getBody() returns a Message
// See http://amphp.org/byte-stream/message
var_dump(yield $response->getBody());
