function curl_http_request in cURL HTTP Request 8

Same name and namespace in other branches
  1. 6 chr.module \curl_http_request()
  2. 7 chr.module \curl_http_request()

Performs an HTTP request.

This is a flexible and powerful HTTP client implementation. Correctly handles GET, POST, PUT or any other HTTP requests. Handles redirects.

Parameters

$url: A string containing a fully qualified URI.

array $options: (optional) An array that can have one or more of the following elements:

  • headers: An array containing request headers to send as name/value pairs.
  • method: A string containing the request method. Defaults to 'GET'.
  • data: A string containing the request body, formatted as 'param=value&param=value&...'. Defaults to NULL.
  • max_redirects: An integer representing how many times a redirect may be followed. Defaults to 3.
  • timeout: A float representing the maximum number of seconds the function call may take. The default is 30 seconds. If a timeout occurs, the error code is set to the HTTP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT constant.
  • context: A context resource created with stream_context_create().
  • verify_ssl: A boolean, to decide whether (TRUE) or not (FALSE) verify the SSL certificate and host.
  • verbose: A boolean, to switch on (TRUE) and off (FALSE) the cURL verbose mode.
  • cookiefile: A string containing a local path to the cookie file.
  • http_proxy: An array that will override the system-wide HTTP proxy settings. Array's elements:
  • https_proxy: An array that will override the system-wide HTTPS proxy settings.

Return value

object An object that can have one or more of the following components:

  • request: A string containing the request body that was sent.
  • code: An integer containing the response status code, or the error code if an error occurred.
  • protocol: The response protocol (e.g. HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/1.0).
  • status_message: The status message from the response, if a response was received.
  • redirect_code: If redirected, an integer containing the initial response status code.
  • redirect_url: If redirected, a string containing the URL of the redirect target.
  • error: If an error occurred, the error message. Otherwise not set.
  • errno: If an error occurred, a cURL error number greater than 0. Otherwise set to 0.
  • headers: An array containing the response headers as name/value pairs. HTTP header names are case-insensitive (RFC 2616, section 4.2), so for easy access the array keys are returned in lower case.
  • data: A string containing the response body that was received.
