    Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client library. It’s a simple and effective solution for sending HTTP requests and managing HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.0 responses. This versatile tool excels in several areas, allowing developers to build query strings quickly, send POST requests, upload JSON data, and handle other HTTP-related tasks. Moreover, Guzzle facilitates both synchronous and asynchronous request handling, providing flexibility for different scenarios.

    but if you'd rather make raw requests, guzzle is a good option (though I'd opt for the sdk): https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle

    Like Node.js, the PHP ecosystem has quite a number of good HTTP request libraries. Guzzle is perhaps one of the most well known, but there are many other popular libraries out there. Luckily, PHP also has some interface standards around HTTP clients and messages, particularly PSR-7, PSR-17, and PSR-18,
  • Composer conflict, how can we use it?

    We found the related issue on the Guzzle GitHub repository and we noticed a fix had been released with version 6.3 of this library. Hurray, we can bump Guzzle version to 6.3 and overcome the problem! But looking at BehatPageObjectExtension’s composer.json we’ve soon realized that Guzzle isn’t a direct dependency managed by us. “It’s not a big deal” I thought as Guzzle was required by Goutte and we require Goutte through its Mink driver,so I expected to find some tagged version of Goutte and the Mink Driver with this requirements bump. Sadly I found it wasn’t the case as Guzzle is required in Goutte with ^6.0 (so, basically every version between 6 and 7) and this includes the versions with the warning described above. Therefore in our case the warning was displayed as a “side effect” of deps=low that requires indirectly Guzzle 6.0 as is the lowest dependency accepted.

    I am curious how everyone feels about HTTP client packages in the PHP space, specifically packages like Guzzle, PHP HTTP, or HTTPful, etc.

    Without discussing if it’s right or wrong to keep a version of third party code that could break everthing (take a look at this PR), we were suddenly at a crossroads: drop the deps=low and give up on this kind of tests or dig in the Composer manual and look for something that could possibly help us: you guessed right, conflict is what we needed (thanks to jakzal!).
