Joomla\Http\HttpFactory

The HttpFactory class provides an interface for creating Joomla\Http\Http objects.

Retrieving a Http object

The getHttp() method can be used to create Http objects from the factory.

/*
 * @param   array|\ArrayAccess  $options   Client options array.
 * @param   array|string        $adapters  Adapter (string) or queue of adapters (array) to use for communication.
 *
 * @return  \Joomla\Http\Http
 *
 * @throws  \InvalidArgumentException
 * @throws  \RuntimeException
 */
public function getHttp($options = array(), $adapters = null)

The following example demonstrates basic use of the getHttp() method.

use Joomla\Http\HttpFactory;

// Create an instance of a default Http object.
$http = (new HttpFactory)->getHttp();

Note that an InvalidArgumentException is thrown if the $options argument is not an array or an object implementing the
ArrayAccess interface.

Note that a RuntimeException is thrown if no Joomla\Http\TransportInterface objects are available for use.

Retrieving a Joomla\Http\TransportInterface object

The getAvailableDriver() method can be used to create TransportInterface objects from the factory.

/*
 * @param   array|\ArrayAccess  $options  Options for creating TransportInterface object
 * @param   array|string        $default  Adapter (string) or queue of adapters (array) to use
 *
 * @return  TransportInterface|boolean  Interface sub-class or boolean false if no adapters are available
 *
 * @throws  \InvalidArgumentException
 */
public function getAvailableDriver($options = array(), $default = null)

The following example demonstrates basic use of the getAvailableDriver() method.

use Joomla\Http\HttpFactory;

// Create an instance of a TransportInterface object.
$transport = (new HttpFactory)->getAvailableDriver();

Note that an InvalidArgumentException is thrown if the $options argument is not an array or an object implementing the ArrayAccess
interface.

Retrieving the available TransportInterface implementations

The getHttpTransports() method can be used to retrieve a list of supported TransportInterface objects from the factory.

/**
 * @return  array  An array of available transport handler types
 */
public function getHttpTransports()

The following example demonstrates basic use of the getHttpTransports() method.

use Joomla\Http\HttpFactory;

// Get a list of available TransportInterface objects.
$transports = (new HttpFactory)->getHttpTransports();
