Framework Documentation - HTTP Package

Updating from v1 to v2

Minimum supported PHP version raised

All Framework packages now require PHP 7.2 or newer.

PSR-7 Support

Version 2 of the HTTP package started to use PSR-7 compliant syntax. This means that
custom transport drivers now need to formulate their Joomla\Http\Response object using PSR-7 compliant syntax.

$response = new \Joomla\Http\Response;
$response->withBody($body);
$response->withHeader($headerName, $headerValue);
$response->withStatus($statusCode);

We encourage users of the package to use PSR-7 compliant code to retrieve information from the response object, however we are maintaining
support for retrieving the body, headers and status code through the same way as in version 1 of the HTTP package.

Factory class methods no longer static

The methods of the Joomla\Http\HttpFactory class are no longer static. Users must now instantiate the factory class to access its methods.

cacert.pem no longer included

The HTTP package no longer includes a cacert.pem file. The file packaged with the composer/ca-bundle package is used instead per its logic.
