README

This is a work in progress project. The goal is to build an efficient and robust library on top of Symfony2 HttpFoundation (Request and Response).

Unit tested with PHPUnit

Todo:

• HTTP cache listener to skip not necessary requests.
• CURL client
• Proxy support
• History listener
• Logger listener

Requirements

• PHP 5.3 +
• Symfony HttpFoundation
• Symfony EventDispatcher
• Symfony BrowserKit (for CookieJar)
• Curl Extension (not yet)

Usage

$browser = new Buzy\Browser();
$response = $browser->get('http://www.google.com');

echo $response;

You can also use the low-level HTTP classes directly.

$request = Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request::create('http://google.com', 'GET');
$response = new Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response();

$client = new Buzy\Client\FileGetContents();
$client->send($request, $response);

echo $request;
echo $response;

Simple reverse proxy

With this 5 lines of code, you can re-send a request and transfert the response.

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Buzy\Browser;

$request = Request::createFromGlobals();
$request->server->set('HTTP_HOST', 'internal-server');

$browser = new Browser();

$response = $browser->send($request);

$response->send();

// The response is sent back to the client
