README

It is a PHP wrapper for curl.

The main idea was just to make HTTP requests with one-liners. And cookie support out-of-the box.

For something more complex you probably want Guzzle.

How to use

Like that.

HttpClient::from(['useRandomCookieFile' => true])->get('http://httpbin.org/get');

HttpClient::from()->post('http://httpbin.org/post', ['foo' => 'bar']);

HttpClient::from()->download('http://httpbin.org/image/jpeg', 'my-new-image-file.jpeg');
