artax

Artax is a no longer maintained asynchronous HTTP client for PHP based on Amp.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.

Deprecation

This repository is deprecated in favor of amphp/http-client. It still exists to keep Packagist working as before.

Features

• Requests asynchronously for full single-threaded concurrency
• Pools persistent keep-alive connections
• Transparently follows redirects
• Decodes gzipped entity bodies
• Exposes headers and message data
• Streams entity bodies for memory management with large transfers
• Supports all standard and custom HTTP method verbs
• Simplifies HTTP form submissions
• Implements secure-by-default TLS (https://)
• Supports cookies and sessions
• Functions seamlessly behind HTTP proxies

Project Goals

• Model all code as closely as possible to the relevant HTTP protocol RFCs
• Implement an HTTP/1.1 client built on raw socket streams with no libcurl dependency
