/zend-http-client-adapter-internal

Adapter for Zend_Http_Client that routes and dispatches requests internally. (More or less HMVC for ZF.)

Primary LanguagePHP

Overview

The Http_Client_Adapter_Internal adapter connects the Zend HTTP Client to a ZF Front Controller, allowing the application to make HTTP requests directly to itself (i.e. without requests and responses going over the network).

(This could be considered a ZF port of Kohana Framework's HMVC architectural pattern.)

Example

Calling HelloController from IndexController:

class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{

    public function indexAction()
    {
        $client = new Zend_Http_Client("http://api.local/hello/?name=Clem");

        $client->setAdapter(new Http_Client_Adapter_Internal($this->getFrontController()));

        $response = $client->request();
        echo $response->getBody();
    }


}

Where HelloController is defined as follows:

class HelloController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{

    public function indexAction()
    {
        $this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true);
        echo sprintf("Hello, %s!\n", $this->getRequest()->getParam("name", "Greg"));
    }


}
