php-https — Lightweight, Secure HTTP Client for PHP (cURL-powered, PSR-7 style)

[BroosAction]

Hey Friends ?

I’d like to introduce a new open-source library I’ve built called php-https, designed to simplify and secure HTTP/HTTPS requests in PHP. It’s lightweight, fast, and built on top of cURL, with a clean, PSR-7-inspired API.

GitHub Repo: https://github.com/broosaction/php-https

Features

• Simple API for GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD
• JSON support, file uploads, proxy, cookies, headers
• Authentication (Basic, Bearer, Token)
• Custom timeouts, redirects, and SSL options
• Response parsing with status codes, headers, body
• Works with raw cURL or abstracted interface

Example Usage

use Https\Request;

$response = Request::get('https://api.example.com/data');

if ($response->ok()) {
    echo $response->json()['message'];
}

Installation

composer require broosaction/php-https

 

Contributions Welcome

Feel free to:

• ⭐ Star the repo
• ? Try it out in your projects
• ? Submit issues or pull requests
• ? Follow me on GitHub:@brucetruth | check our website 

I built this to help streamline API integrations in PHP projects, especially for developers working in resource-constrained environments. Feedback, suggestions, and improvements are welcome!

Let’s make PHP HTTP requests cleaner and safer together.

I only scanned your project but I have a few questions I'd like to see answered:

• Why would someone want to use your library when there are libraries like Guzzle or Symfony's HTTP Client that do the same thing?
• I didn't see any unit tests.  Are you planning to add those?  I think that's pretty much a requirement these days if you want people to adopt and have confidence using a new library.
