symfony-httpvsem-http-request
Symfony-http is a PHP library that provides a set of classes for working with HTTP requests and responses. It is part of the Symfony CMS framework, but can also be used independently.
em-http-request is a Ruby gem for making asynchronous HTTP requests using EventMachine. It allows you to perform multiple requests simultaneously and handle the responses as they come in, rather than waiting for each request to complete before making the next one.
In short it supports: - Asynchronous HTTP API for single & parallel request execution - Keep-Alive and HTTP pipelining support - Auto-follow 3xx redirects with max depth - Automatic gzip & deflate decoding - Streaming response processing - Streaming file uploads - HTTP proxy and SOCKS5 support - Basic Auth & OAuth - Connection-level & global middleware support - HTTP parser via http_parser.rb - Works wherever EventMachine runs: Rubinius, JRuby, MRI
Example Use
<?php
use Symfony\Component\HttpClient\HttpClient;
// create a client object:
$client = HttpClient::create();
// sent GET request
$response = $client->request('GET', 'https://httpbin.org/get');
// or POST request
$response = $client->request('POST', 'https://httpbin.org/post', [
'headers' => [
'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
],
'json' => [
'name' => 'John Doe',
'email' => 'john.doe@example.com',
],
]);
// print response data:
$statusCode = $response->getStatusCode();
$content = $response->getContent();
echo "Status Code: $statusCode\n";
echo "Content: $content\n";
EventMachine.run {
http = EventMachine::HttpRequest.new('http://google.com/').get :query => {'keyname' => 'value'}
# add callback for errors:
http.errback { p 'Uh oh'; EM.stop }
# add callback for successful requests
http.callback {
p http.response_header.status
p http.response_header
p http.response
EventMachine.stop
}
}
