aternos/curl-psr

A simple PSR-18 client implementation based on cURL that actually supports streaming both requests and responses.

Installation

composer require aternos/curl-psr

In addition to PSR-18 (HTTP Client), this library also provides implementations for PSR-17 (HTTP Factories) and PSR-7 (HTTP Messages), so no other implementations need to be installed.

Usage

Creating a client

$client = new \Aternos\CurlPsr\Psr18\Client();

When creating a client, you can optionally provide a PSR-17 ResponseFactoryInterface instance. By default, the client will use the Aternos\CurlPsr\Psr17\Psr17Factory class included in this library.

Additionally, you can pass an optional CurlHandleFactoryInterface instance as the second argument, which is mainly used for testing purposes.

Configuring the client

Since PSR-7 does not offer many request options, you can set client-wide options that are used for all requests. Requests will use the client options as they are at the moment they are sent. Changing client options will therefore not affect already running requests.

$client->setTimeout(10) // Set the timeout to 10 seconds
       ->setMaxRedirects(5) // Set the maximum number of redirects to follow to 5
       ->setCookieFile("/path/to/cookie/file") // Set the path to the cURL cookie file 
       ->setCurlOption(CURLOPT_DNS_SHUFFLE_ADDRESSES, true) // Set a custom cURL option
       ->setDefaultHeaders(["User-Agent" => ["MyClient/1.0"]]) // Set default headers for all requests
       ->addDefaultHeader("Accept", "application/json"); // Add a default header

$client->setProgressCallback(function (
    \Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface $request, 
    int $downloadTotal, 
    int $downloaded, 
    int $uploadTotal, 
    int $uploaded
) {
    // Progress callback
});

Progress callback

The progress callback function works the same way as the CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION in cURL, except that it receives the PSR-7 request object instead of a cURL handle as the first argument. Please note that the request object passed to the callback is not necessarily same instance that was originally passed to the sendRequest method. This is because PSR-7 request objects are immutable, so the client will create a new request object if changes are necessary (e.g. to add default headers).

Sending a request

$factory = new \Aternos\CurlPsr\Psr17\Psr17Factory();

$request = $factory->createRequest("GET", "https://example.com")
    ->withHeader("X-Some-Header", "Some Value");
    ->withBody($streamFactory->createStream("Some body"));

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

$headers = $response->getHeaders();
$stream = $response->getBody();

echo $stream->getContents();

CurlPsr can send any PSR-7 request object and return a PSR-7 response object. For more information on how to use PSR-7 objects, see the PSR-7 documentation.
