# Httpful

Httpful is a simple Http Client library for PHP 8.0+. There is an emphasis of readability, simplicity, and flexibility – basically provide the features and flexibility to get the job done and make those features really easy to use.

Features

- Readable HTTP Method Support (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, HEAD, PATCH and OPTIONS)
- Custom Headers
- Automatic "Smart" Parsing
- Automatic Payload Serialization
- Basic Auth
- Client Side Certificate Auth
- Request "Templates"

# Sneak Peak

Here's something to whet your appetite. Search the twitter API for tweets containing "#PHP". Include a trivial header for the heck of it. Notice that the library automatically interprets the response as JSON (can override this if desired) and parses it as an array of objects.

```php

// Make a request to the GitHub API with a custom
// header of "X-Trvial-Header: Just as a demo".
$url = "https://api.github.com/users/nategood";
$response = \Httpful\Request::get($url)
->expectsJson()
->withXTrivialHeader('Just as a demo')
->send();

echo "{$response->body->name} joined GitHub on " .
date('M jS', strtotime($response->body->created_at)) ."\n";
```

# Installation

## Composer

Httpful is PSR-0 compliant and can be installed using [composer](http://getcomposer.org/). Simply add `nategood/httpful` to your composer.json file. _Composer is the sane alternative to PEAR. It is excellent for managing dependencies in larger projects_.

{
"require": {
"nategood/httpful": "*"
}
}

## Install from Source

Because Httpful is PSR-0 compliant, you can also just clone the Httpful repository and use a PSR-0 compatible autoloader to load the library, like [Symfony's](http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/class_loader.html). Alternatively you can use the PSR-0 compliant autoloader included with the Httpful (simply `require("bootstrap.php")`).

## Build your Phar

If you want the build your own [Phar Archive](http://php.net/manual/en/book.phar.php) you can use the `build` script included.
Make sure that your `php.ini` has the _Off_ or 0 value for the `phar.readonly` setting.
Also you need to create an empty `downloads` directory in the project root.

# Contributing

Httpful highly encourages sending in pull requests. When submitting a pull request please:

- All pull requests should target the `dev` branch (not `master`)
- Make sure your code follows the [coding conventions](http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.php)
- Please use soft tabs (four spaces) instead of hard tabs
- Make sure you add appropriate test coverage for your changes
- Run all unit tests in the test directory via `phpunit ./tests`
- Include commenting where appropriate and add a descriptive pull request message

- SECURITY [Make certificate validation the default](https://huntr.com/bounties/8d59c089-92f1-4b73-90f8-54968a70e2fb).
