HTTP Client & Server

Provides an HTTP client and server example implementation backed by the async PHP extension.

Supported APIs

API	Description
PSR-3	Provides a simple logger interface, monolog is used for testing.
PSR-7	Provides HTTP message abstraction, Tobias Nyholm PSR7 is used in examples.
PSR-15	Provides contracts for server HTTP request handlers and HTTP middleware.
PSR-17	Provides HTTP message factories, your PSR-7 implementations should provide these.
PSR-18	Provides a contract for an HTTP client.

HTTP Client

The HTTP client is PSR-18 compliant and implements ClientInterface. It requires a PSR-17 response factory to convert incoming responses into PSR-7 response objects. The client is completely async yet it does not make use or callbacks, promises, or any other kind of an async API. All network IO is non-blocking but the body stream of the HTTP request object you pass in might be blocking. You can execute multiple concurrent HTTP requests by making use of different Task objects (see ext-async).

use Concurrent\Http\HttpClient;
use Concurrent\Http\HttpClientConfig;

$factory = new \Nyholm\Psr7\Factory\Psr17Factory();
$client = new HttpClient(new HttpClientConfig($factory));

$request = $factory->createRequest('GET', 'https://httpbin.org/status/201');
$response = $client->sendRequest($request);

print_r($response);

BaseUriClient

Decorator that enhances a PSR-18 HTTP client with base URI handling to allow for relative paths in request URIs.

Compressing Client

Decorator that enhances an arbitrary PSR-18 HTTP client with support for gzip and deflate HTTP response compression (requires zlib extension to be installed).

MemoryBufferingClient

Decorator that reads all HTTP response bodies into strings before returning an HTTP response object.

HTTP Server

The HTTP server uses an async TCP server and translates incoming HTTP requests into PSR-7 server request objects using a PSR-17 server request factory. The requests are passed to a PSR-15 request handler that is responsible for creating an HTTP response. The server can handle many HTTP requests concurrently due to non-blocking socket IO. Performance will degrade if you do blocking IO (filesystem access, DB queries, etc.) or CPU intensive processing in your request handler.

use Concurrent\Http\HttpServer;
use Concurrent\Http\HttpServerConfig;
use Concurrent\Network\TcpServer;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseFactoryInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;
use Psr\Http\Server\RequestHandlerInterface;

$factory = new \Nyholm\Psr7\Factory\Psr17Factory();

$handler = new class($factory) implements RequestHandlerInterface {
    private $factory;
    
    public function __construct(ResponseFactoryInterface $factory) {
        $this->factory = $factory;
    }
    
    public function handle(ServerRequestInterface $request): ResponseInterface {
        return $this->factory->createResponse(204);
    }
};

$server = new HttpServer(new HttpServerConfig($factory, $factory));
$server->run(TcpServer::listen('127.0.0.1', 8080), $handler);
