Chris@0: Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client that makes it easy to send HTTP requests and
Chris@0: trivial to integrate with web services.
Chris@0: 
Chris@0: - Simple interface for building query strings, POST requests, streaming large
Chris@0:   uploads, streaming large downloads, using HTTP cookies, uploading JSON data,
Chris@0:   etc...
Chris@0: - Can send both synchronous and asynchronous requests using the same interface.
Chris@0: - Uses PSR-7 interfaces for requests, responses, and streams. This allows you
Chris@0:   to utilize other PSR-7 compatible libraries with Guzzle.
Chris@0: - Abstracts away the underlying HTTP transport, allowing you to write
Chris@0:   environment and transport agnostic code; i.e., no hard dependency on cURL,
Chris@0:   PHP streams, sockets, or non-blocking event loops.
Chris@0: - Middleware system allows you to augment and compose client behavior.
Chris@0: 
Chris@0: ```php
Chris@0: $client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
Chris@0: $res = $client->request('GET', 'https://api.github.com/repos/guzzle/guzzle');
Chris@0: echo $res->getStatusCode();
Chris@0: // 200
Chris@0: echo $res->getHeaderLine('content-type');
Chris@0: // 'application/json; charset=utf8'
Chris@0: echo $res->getBody();
Chris@0: // '{"id": 1420053, "name": "guzzle", ...}'
Chris@0: 
Chris@0: // Send an asynchronous request.
Chris@0: $request = new \GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request('GET', 'http://httpbin.org');
Chris@0: $promise = $client->sendAsync($request)->then(function ($response) {
Chris@0:     echo 'I completed! ' . $response->getBody();
Chris@0: });
Chris@0: $promise->wait();
Chris@0: ```

Chris@0: ## Installing Guzzle
Chris@0: 
Chris@0: The recommended way to install Guzzle is through
Chris@0: [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).
Chris@0: 
Chris@0: ```bash
Chris@0: # Install Composer
Chris@0: curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Chris@0: ```
Chris@0: 
Chris@0: Next, run the Composer command to install the latest stable version of Guzzle:
Chris@0: 
Chris@0: ```bash
Chris@0: php composer.phar require guzzlehttp/guzzle
Chris@0: ```
Chris@0: 
Chris@0: After installing, you need to require Composer's autoloader:
Chris@0: 
Chris@0: ```php
Chris@0: require 'vendor/autoload.php';
Chris@0: ```
Chris@0: 
Chris@0: You can then later update Guzzle using composer:
Chris@0: 
Chris@0:  ```bash
Chris@0: composer.phar update
Chris@0:  ```
