drupal_http_request($url, $headers = array(), $method = 'GET', $data = NULL, $retry = 3)

7

drupal_http_request($url, array $options = array())

Perform an HTTP request.

This is a flexible and powerful HTTP client implementation. Correctly handles GET, POST, PUT or any other HTTP requests. Handles redirects.

Parameters

$url A string containing a fully qualified URI.

$options (optional) An array which can have one or more of following keys:

• headers An array containing request headers to send as name/value pairs.
• method A string containing the request method. Defaults to 'GET'.
• data A string containing the request body. Defaults to NULL.
• max_redirects An integer representing how many times a redirect may be followed. Defaults to 3.
• timeout A float representing the maximum number of seconds the function call may take. The default is 30 seconds. If a timeout occurs, the error code is set to the HTTP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT constant.

Return value

An object which can have one or more of the following parameters:

• request A string containing the request body that was sent.
• code An integer containing the response status code, or the error code if an error occurred.
• protocol The response protocol (e.g. HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/1.0).
• status_message The status message from the response, if a response was received.
• redirect_code If redirected, an integer containing the initial response status code.
• redirect_url If redirected, a string containing the redirection location.
• error If an error occurred, the error message. Otherwise not set.
• headers An array containing the response headers as name/value pairs.
• data A string containing the response body that was received.
