__construct()source public

__construct( string|array $config array() )

Build an HTTP Socket using the specified configuration.

You can use a URL string to set the URL and use default configurations for all other options:

$http = new HttpSocket('https://cakephp.org/');

Or use an array to configure multiple options:

$http = new HttpSocket(array(
   'host' => 'cakephp.org',
   'timeout' => 20
));

See HttpSocket::$config for options that can be used.

Parameters

string|array $config optional array()

Configuration information, either a string URL or an array of options.

Overrides

CakeSocket::__construct()

_buildHeader()source protected

_buildHeader( array $header , string $mode 'standard' )

Builds the header.

Parameters

array $header

Header to build

string $mode optional 'standard'

Mode

Returns

string
Header built from array

_buildRequestLine()source protected

_buildRequestLine( array $request array() )

Builds a request line according to HTTP/1.1 specs. Activate quirks mode to work outside specs.

Parameters

array $request optional array()

Needs to contain a 'uri' key. Should also contain a 'method' key, otherwise defaults to GET.

Returns

string
Request line

Throws

SocketException

_buildUri()source protected

_buildUri( string|array $uri array() , string $uriTemplate '%scheme://%user:%pass@%host:%port/%path?%query#%fragment' )

Takes a $uri array and turns it into a fully qualified URL string

Parameters

string|array $uri optional array()

Either A $uri array, or a request string. Will use $this->config if left empty.

string $uriTemplate optional '%scheme://%user:%pass@%host:%port/%path?%query#%fragment'

The Uri template/format to use.

Returns

mixed
A fully qualified URL formatted according to $uriTemplate, or false on failure

_configUri()source protected

_configUri( string|array $uri null )

Parses and sets the specified URI into current request configuration.

Parameters

string|array $uri optional null

URI, See HttpSocket::_parseUri()

Returns

boolean

_escapeToken()source protected

_escapeToken( string $token , array $chars null )

Parameters

string $token

Token to escape

array $chars optional null

Characters to escape

Returns

string

_parseQuery()source protected

_parseQuery( string|array $query )

This function can be thought of as a reverse to PHP5's http_build_query(). It takes a given query string and turns it into an array and supports nesting by using the php bracket syntax. So this means you can parse queries like:

• ?key[subKey]=value
• ?key[]=value1&key[]=value2

A leading '?' mark in $query is optional and does not effect the outcome of this function. For the complete capabilities of this implementation take a look at HttpSocketTest::testparseQuery()

Parameters

string|array $query

A query string to parse into an array or an array to return directly "as is"

Returns

array

The $query parsed into a possibly multi-level array. If an empty $query is given, an empty array is returned.

_parseUri()source protected

_parseUri( string|array $uri null , boolean|array $base array() )

Parses the given URI and breaks it down into pieces as an indexed array with elements such as 'scheme', 'port', 'query'.

Parameters

string|array $uri optional null

URI to parse

boolean|array $base optional array()

If true use default URI config, otherwise indexed array to set 'scheme', 'host', 'port', etc.

Returns

array
Parsed URI

_setAuth()source protected

_setAuth( )

Set authentication in request

Throws

SocketException

_setProxy()source protected

_setProxy( )

Set the proxy configuration and authentication

Throws

SocketException

_tokenEscapeChars()source protected

_tokenEscapeChars( boolean $hex true , array $chars null )

Gets escape chars according to RFC 2616 (HTTP 1.1 specs).

Parameters

boolean $hex optional true

true to get them as HEX values, false otherwise

array $chars optional null

buildCookies()source public

buildCookies( array $cookies )

Builds cookie headers for a request.

Cookies can either be in the format returned in responses, or a simple key => value pair.

Parameters

array $cookies

Array of cookies to send with the request.

Returns

string
Cookie header string to be sent with the request.

configAuth()source public

configAuth( string $method , string|array $user null , string $pass null )

Set authentication settings.

Accepts two forms of parameters. If all you need is a username + password, as with Basic authentication you can do the following:

$http->configAuth('Basic', 'mark', 'secret');

If you are using an authentication strategy that requires more inputs, like Digest authentication you can call configAuth() with an array of user information.

$http->configAuth('Digest', array(
    'user' => 'mark',
    'pass' => 'secret',
    'realm' => 'my-realm',
    'nonce' => 1235
));

To remove any set authentication strategy, call configAuth() with no parameters:

$http->configAuth();

Parameters

string $method

Authentication method (ie. Basic, Digest). If empty, disable authentication

string|array $user optional null

Username for authentication. Can be an array with settings to authentication class

string $pass optional null

Password for authentication

configProxy()source public

configProxy( string|array $host , integer $port 3128 , string $method null , string $user null , string $pass null )

Set proxy settings

Parameters

string|array $host

Proxy host. Can be an array with settings to authentication class

integer $port optional 3128

Port. Default 3128.

string $method optional null

Proxy method (ie, Basic, Digest). If empty, disable proxy authentication

string $user optional null

Username if your proxy need authentication

string $pass optional null

Password to proxy authentication

delete()source public

delete( string|array $uri null , array $data array() , array $request array() )

Issues a DELETE request to the specified URI, query, and request.

Parameters

string|array $uri optional null

URI to request (see HttpSocket::_parseUri())

array $data optional array()

get()source public

get( string|array $uri null , array $query array() , array $request array() )

Issues a GET request to the specified URI, query, and request.

Using a string uri and an array of query string parameters:

$response = $http->get('http://google.com/search', array('q' => 'cakephp', 'client' => 'safari'));

Would do a GET request to http://google.com/search?q=cakephp&client=safari

You could express the same thing using a uri array and query string parameters:

$response = $http->get(
    array('host' => 'google.com', 'path' => '/search'),
    array('q' => 'cakephp', 'client' => 'safari')
);

mixed
Result of request, either false on failure or the response to the request.

head()source public

head( string|array $uri null , array $query array() , array $request array() )

By definition HEAD request are identical to GET request except they return no response body. This means that all information and examples relevant to GET also applys to HEAD.

Parameters

mixed
Either false on failure or a string containing the composed URL.

__destruct()source public

__destruct( )

Destructor, used to disconnect from current connection.

_addTlsVersions()source protected

_addTlsVersions( )

Add TLS versions that are dependent on specific PHP versions.

These TLS versions are not supported by older PHP versions, so we have to conditionally set them if they are supported.
