FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.

Multi-Environment PHP HTTP Client Package
Synchronous and Asynchronous API Calls for Apache, Nginx, and Swoole
Part of Gemvc , a lightweight PHP Framework for microservices
Overview
A framework-independent HTTP client package providing both synchronous and asynchronous API call capabilities. Automatically adapts to your runtime environment (Apache, Nginx, or Swoole) for optimal performance.
Features
- ✅ Synchronous API calls with retry logic and SSL support
- ✅ Asynchronous concurrent requests with configurable concurrency
- ✅ Enhanced error handling with exception storage and classification
- ✅ Environment-aware execution - optimized for each runtime (Native Coroutines for Swoole)
- ✅ Framework-independent - use in any PHP project
- ✅ Backward compatible with GEMVC framework
Installation
Requirements
- PHP 8.2 or higher
- cURL extension
- OpenSwoole extension (optional, for optimized async in Swoole)

- HttpClient - Apache/Nginx synchronous implementation
- AsyncHttpClient - Apache/Nginx asynchronous implementation
- SwooleHttpClient - Native Swoole implementation using Coroutines (no cURL dependency)
