Extended HTTP support. Again.
This extension is hosted at PECL and can be installed with PEAR's pecl command:
# pecl install pecl_http
pecl/http depends on a number of system libraries and PHP extensions for special features.
The following system libraries are required to build this extension:
--with-http-zlib-dirapt-get install zlib1g-dev
The following system libraries are optional and provide additional features:
--with-http-libcurl-dirapt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
--with-http-libbrotli-dirapt-get install libbrotli-dev
--with-http-libevent-dirapt-get install libevent-dev
--with-http-libicu-dirapt-get install libicu-dev
--with-http-libidn-dirapt-get install libidn11-dev
--with-http-libidn2-dirapt-get install libidn2-0-dev
--with-http-libidnkit-dir--with-http-libidnkit2-dirIf configured with multiple IDNA libraries' support, there's a run-time precedence of ICU over GNU libidn, which in turn has precendence over idnkit. If neither IDNA2008, nor IDNA2003 is explicitly requested, IDNA2008 has precendence.
There are usually different styles of SSL support for libcurl available, so you can choose between 'openssl' and f.e. 'nss' or 'gnutls' when installing libcurl.
This extension unconditionally depends on the pre-loaded presence of the following PHP extensions:
If configured --with-http-shared-deps (default) it depends on the pre-loaded presence of the following extensions, as long as they were available at build time:
Please ensure that all extension on which pecl/http depends, are loaded before it, e.g in your php.ini:
; obligatory deps
extension = raphf.so
extension = propro.so (PHP < 8.0, ext-http < 3.0 only)
; if shared deps were enabled
extension = hash.so
extension = iconv.so
extension = json.so
; finally load pecl/http
extension = http.so
The http extension registers the http.* namespace for its stream filters. Provided stream filters are:
