#PHP HttpClient
A simple and flexible tool to make HTTP requests from php applications.
###Key features:
- no curl required, plain sockets only
- synchronous and asynchronous requests
- adjustable stream context via stream_context_create makes it possible to use custom certificates per request, by default ssl verification is off
- easy to use with HTTP proxy. Supports SSL connections through proxy.
- easy and powerfull api, that helps you to to concentrate on things that are really important.
- MIT license

function __autoload($className) {
if (httpClientAutoLoad($className)) return;
//Your code here
}
//or use spl_autoload_register
spl_autoload_register('httpClientAutoload');If you are using composer (not yet available in packagist):

var_dump($response->getEntity());####Proxy Example:
$response = HttpRequest::build("https://example.com")
->method("POST")
->contentType("application/json")
->entity(json_encode($entity))
->proxy("http://user:password@192.168.0.1:8080")
->accept("application/json")
->execute();
echo $response->getEntity()->field;####Extended SSL example:
$context = stream_context_create();
stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'cafile', $path);
stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'verify_host', true);
stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'verify_peer', true);
stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'allow_self_signed', true);
