fetch an URL (file) resource content

urlRsrc is a Curl wrapper and implements a (no-cache) http GET request.

Output is a URL resource result string.

Throws InvalidArgumentException/RuntimeException on error (also http code >= 400).

No cookie or return headers managent, works out-of-the-box

Usage

<?php
namespace Kigkonsult\Http;

include __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

/**
 * @param string $url            the url (file) resource
 *                               for missning scheme 'http' is used
 * @param array  $urlArgs        opt, *( urlArgKey => value )
 *                               if not empty, appended to url
 * @param array  $curlOpts       opt, *( curlOptConstant => value )
 *                               overwrites default (below) key value if key exists
 *                               The keys should be valid curl_setopt() constants or their integer equivalents.
 * @param int    $sizeDownload   hold (byte-)size of downloaded resource
 * @param float  $time           hold operation exec time (in seconds)
 * @return string
 * @throws InvalidArgumentException
 * @throws RuntimeException
 */
$result = UrlRsrc::getContent( 'example.com' );

Curl options

Default Curl options are

* fail if HTTP return code >= 400
CURLOPT_FAILONERROR    => true,

* follow redirects
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,

* use a NO-cached connection
CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT  => true,

* array of HTTP headers, default Accept everything
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER     => [ 'Accept: */*' ],
* example : prefer html/xml...
*    'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8'

* get URL contents
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,

* max seconds to wait before connect timeout
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 60,

* max seconds to wait before Curl execute timeout
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT        => 60,

* no check of common the names in the SSL peer certificate
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => 0,

Note

• CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER is (auto-)set depending on URL scheme; https gives true else false
• UrlRsrc is indended to work without other added Curl options but
  some URLs may require some

Opt certificate directives :

• CURLOPT_CAINFO => DIR . '/cacert.pem'
  certificate file
  download up-to-date from http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html

• CURLOPT_CAPATH => 'fullPath/to/certs/dir'
  directory with certificates

How to (opt) implement basic authentication :

• CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH => CURLAUTH_BASIC
• CURLOPT_USERPWD => sprintf( '%s:%s', $userName, $password )

CurlOpts argument array key value overwrites default (above) if key is set.

More info about Curl options at php.net.
