abstract Request_Client_External
extends Kohana_Request_Client_External
extends Request_Client
extends Kohana_Request_Client

Request_Client_External provides a wrapper for all external request processing. This class should be extended by all drivers handling external requests.

Supported out of the box: - Curl (default) - PECL HTTP - Streams

To select a specific external driver to use as the default driver, set the following property within the Application bootstrap. Alternatively, the client can be injected into the request object.

  // In application bootstrap
  Request_Client_External::$client = 'Request_Client_Stream';

  // Add client to request
  $request = Request::factory('http://some.host.tld/foo/bar')
      ->client(Request_Client_External::factory('Request_Client_HTTP));

Methods

public execute_request( Request $request ) (defined in Kohana_Request_Client_External)

Processes the request, executing the controller action that handles this request, determined by the Route.

  1. Before the controller action is called, the Controller::before method will be called.
  2. Next the controller action will be called.
  3. After the controller action is called, the Controller::after method will be called.

By default, the output from the controller is captured and returned, and no headers are sent.

$request->execute();

Parameters

  • Request $request required - A request object

public function execute_request(Request $request)
{
	if (Kohana::$profiling)
	{
		// Set the benchmark name
		$benchmark = '"'.$request->uri().'"';

		if ($request !== Request::$initial AND Request::$current)
		{
			// Add the parent request uri
			$benchmark .= ' « "'.Request::$current->uri().'"';
		}

		// Start benchmarking
		$benchmark = Profiler::start('Requests', $benchmark);
	}

	// Store the current active request and replace current with new request
	$previous = Request::$current;
	Request::$current = $request;

	// Resolve the POST fields
	if ($post = $request->post())
	{
		$request->body(http_build_query($post, NULL, '&'))
			->headers('content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');

		if (isset($benchmark))
		{
			// Delete the benchmark, it is invalid
