usage of https://github.com/M6Web/GuzzleHttpBundle is recommended

This bundle give a simple webservices client to call external urls. By default, it is based on Guzzle but you can plug any other client library.

No default service is defined. You must set a configuration to instanciate one or more services.

The main configuration key is m6_ws_client. Each subkey defines an instance of a webservice client. These services are named m6_ws_client_ + the subkey except for the default subkey that defines the main service m6_ws_client. For each instance, several parameters can be set :

• base_url : the base domain of each url called with the service. If an absolute url is passed to the client, the base url is ignored.
• config (optional) : additional parameters to configure the client, must be an array. See http://guzzle.readthedocs.org/en/latest/clients.html#request-options
• cache (optional) :
  • ttl : 86400s by default. Max ttl if force_request_ttl is FALSE, forced ttl if force_request_ttl is TRUE
  • force_request_ttl (optional) : FALSE by default. If TRUE, request TTL is the same than the cache TTL, otherwise the request TTL is calculated according to response headers.
  • service : low level cache service (must implement M6Web\Bundle\WSClientBundle\Cache\CacheInterface)
  • adpater : adapter class name (must implement \Doctrine\Common\Cache\Cache)
  • storage : (optional) storage class name (must implement \GuzzleHttp\Subscriber\Cache\CacheStorageInterface)
  • subscriber : (optional) subscriber class (must implement \GuzzleHttp\Subscriber\Cache\SubscriberInterface)
  • can_cache : (optional) a callable to determine if a request can be cached

Here is an example of a simple configuration :

m6_ws_client:
    clients:
        default:
            base_url: 'toto.m6web.fr'
            config:
                timeout: 10
                allow_redirects: {max: 5, strict: false, referer: true}
                exceptions: false
            cache:
                ttl: 3600
                adapter: M6\Bundle\RedisBundle\Guzzle\RedisCacheAdapter
                service: m6_redis

For instance, in a controller :

$wsclient = $this->get('m6_ws_client');
$response = $wsclient->get('http://toto.m6web.fr/parse/?content=my_content');

echo $response->getBody();
