# HttpClient Component Basic HTTP/1.0 client. ## Basic usage Requests are prepared using the ``Client#request()`` method. Body can be sent with ``Request#write()``. ``Request#end()`` finishes sending the request (or sends it at all if no body was written). Request implements WritableStreamInterface, so a Stream can be piped to it. Response implements ReadableStreamInterface. Interesting events emitted by Request: * `response`: The response headers were received from the server and successfully parsed. The first argument is a Response instance. * `error`: An error occured. * `end`: The request is finished. If an error occured, it is passed as first argument. Second and third arguments are the Response and the Request. Interesting events emitted by Response: * `data`: Passes a chunk of the response body as first argument * `error`: An error occured. * `end`: The response has been fully received. If an error occured, it is passed as first argument ### Example ```php createCached('8.8.8.8', $loop); $factory = new React\HttpClient\Factory(); $client = $factory->create($loop, $dnsResolver); $request = $client->request('GET', 'https://github.com/'); $request->on('response', function ($response) { $response->on('data', function ($data) { // ... }); }); $request->end(); ``` ## TODO * gzip content encoding * chunked transfer encoding * keep-alive connections * following redirections
