Custom PHP curl library for the Laravel 5 framework - developed by Ixudra

ixudra/curl

Custom PHP cURL library for the Laravel framework - developed by Ixudra.

The package provides an easy interface for sending cURL requests from your PHP web application. The package provides an intuitive, fluent interface similar the Laravel query builder to easily configure the request. Additionally, There are several utility methods that allow you to easily add certain options to the request. This makes it easier to create and use cURL requests and also makes your code more comprehensible.

The provided functionality is completely framework-independent but also contains a Laravel service provider for easy integration into your Laravel project.

Note before posting an issue: When posting an issue for the package, always be sure to provide as much information regarding the request as possible. This includes the example cURL request you are trying to transfer into the package syntax, your actual package syntax (the full request) and (if possible) an example URL I can use to test the request myself if need be.

Installation

Pull this package in through Composer.

    {
        "require": {
            "ixudra/curl": "6.*"
        }
    }

or run in terminal: composer require ixudra/curl

Laravel 5.5+ Integration

Laravel's package discovery will take care of integration for you.

Laravel 5.* Integration

Add the service provider to your config/app.php file:

    'providers'     => array(

        //...
        Ixudra\Curl\CurlServiceProvider::class,

    ),

Add the facade to your config/app.php file:

    'aliases'       => array(

        //...
        'Curl'          => Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl::class,

    ),

Laravel 4.* Integration

Add the service provider to your app/config/app.php file:

    'providers'     => array(

        //...
        'Ixudra\Curl\CurlServiceProvider',

    ),

Add the facade to your app/config/app.php file:

    'facades'       => array(

        //...
        'Curl'          => 'Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl',

    ),

Lumen 5.* integration

In your bootstrap/app.php, make sure you've un-commented the following line (around line 26):

$app->withFacades();

Then, register your class alias:

class_alias('Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl', 'Curl');

Finally, you have to register your ServiceProvider (around line 70-80):

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Register Service Providers
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here we will register all of the application's service providers which
| are used to bind services into the container. Service providers are
| totally optional, so you are not required to uncomment this line.
|
*/

// $app->register('App\Providers\AppServiceProvider');

// Package service providers
$app->register(Ixudra\Curl\CurlServiceProvider::class);

Integration without Laravel

Create a new instance of the CurlService where you would like to use the package:

    $curlService = new \Ixudra\Curl\CurlService();

Usage

Laravel usage

The package provides an easy interface for sending cURL requests from your application. The package provides a fluent interface similar the Laravel query builder to easily configure the request. There are several utility methods that allow you to easily add certain options to the request. If no utility method applies, you can also use the general withOption method.

Sending GET requests

In order to send a GET request, you need to use the get() method that is provided by the package:

    use Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl;

    // Send a GET request to: http://www.foo.com/bar
    $response = Curl::to('http://www.foo.com/bar')
        ->get();

    // Send a GET request to: http://www.foo.com/bar?foz=baz
    $response = Curl::to('http://www.foo.com/bar')
        ->withData( array( 'foz' => 'baz' ) )
        ->get();

    // Send a GET request to: http://www.foo.com/bar?foz=baz using JSON
    $response = Curl::to('http://www.foo.com/bar')
        ->withData( array( 'foz' => 'baz' ) )
        ->asJson()
        ->get();

Sending POST requests

Post requests work similar to GET requests, but use the post() method instead:

    use Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl;

    // Send a POST request to: http://www.foo.com/bar
    $response = Curl::to('http://www.foo.com/bar')
        ->post();
    
    // Send a POST request to: http://www.foo.com/bar
    $response = Curl::to('http://www.foo.com/bar')
        ->withData( array( 'foz' => 'baz' ) )
        ->post();
    
    // Send a POST request to: http://www.foo.com/bar with arguments 'foz' = 'baz' using JSON
    $response = Curl::to('http://www.foo.com/bar')
        ->withData( array( 'foz' => 'baz' ) )
        ->asJson()
        ->post();
    
    // Send a POST request to: http://www.foo.com/bar with arguments 'foz' = 'baz' using JSON and return as associative array
    $response = Curl::to('http://www.foo.com/bar')
        ->withData( array( 'foz' => 'baz' ) )
        ->asJson( true )
        ->post();

Sending PUT requests

Put requests work similar to POST requests, but use the put() method instead:

    use Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl;

    // Send a PUT request to: http://www.foo.com/bar/1 with arguments 'foz' = 'baz' using JSON
    $response = Curl::to('http://www.foo.com/bar/1')
       ->withData( array( 'foz' => 'baz' ) )
       ->asJson()
       ->put();

Sending PATCH requests

Patch requests work similar to POST requests, but use the patch() method instead:

    use Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl;

    // Send a PATCH request to: http://www.foo.com/bar/1 with arguments 'foz' = 'baz' using JSON
    $response = Curl::to('http://www.foo.com/bar/1')
        ->withData( array( 'foz' => 'baz' ) )
        ->asJson()
        ->patch();

Sending DELETE requests

Delete requests work similar to GET requests, but use the delete() method instead:

    use Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl;

    // Send a DELETE request to: http://www.foo.com/bar/1 using JSON
    $response = Curl::to('http://www.foo.com/bar/1')
        ->asJson()
        ->delete();

Sending HEAD requests

HEAD requests work similar to GET requests, but use the head() method instead:

    use Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl;

    // Send a HEAD request to: http://www.foo.com/bar/1
    $response = Curl::to('http://www.foo.com/bar/1')
        ->head();
    
    // Send a HEAD request to: http://www.foo.com/bar/1?foz=baz
    $response = Curl::to('http://www.foo.com/bar/1')
        ->withData( array( 'foz' => 'baz' ) )
        ->head();

Sending custom headers

Sending custom headers is easy with the withHeader() method. Multiple calls can be chained together to add multiple headers to the request:

    use Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl;

    // Send a GET request to: http://www.foo.com/bar with 2 custom headers
    $response = Curl::to('http://foo.com/bar')
        ->withHeader('MyFirstHeader: 123')
        ->withHeader('MySecondHeader: 456')
        ->get();

Alternatively, you can use the withHeaders() to combine multiple headers into one method call:

    use Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl;

    // Send a GET request to: http://www.foo.com/bar with 2 custom headers
    $response = Curl::to('http://foo.com/bar')
        ->withHeaders( array( 'MyFirstHeader: 123', 'MySecondHeader: 456' ) )
        ->get();

You can also use key-value when using the withHeaders() method:

    use Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl;

    // Send a GET request to: http://www.foo.com/bar with 2 custom headers
    $response = Curl::to('http://foo.com/bar')
        ->withHeaders( array( 'MyFirstHeader' => '123', 'MySecondHeader' => '456' ) )
        ->get();

For (bearer) authorization headers, you can also use specific utility methods:

    use Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl;

    // Send a GET request to: http://www.foo.com/bar with "Authorization: 123" header
    $response = Curl::to('http://foo.com/bar')
        ->withAuthorization('123')
        ->get();

    // Send a GET request to: http://www.foo.com/bar with "Authorization: Bearer 123" header
    $response = Curl::to('http://foo.com/bar')
        ->withBearer('123')
        ->get();

Note that headers will override each other if you add the same header more than once.

Specifying the content type

Sending custom headers is easy with the withContentType() method. Multiple calls can be chained together to add multiple headers to the request:

    use Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl;

    // Send a GET request to: http://www.foo.com/bar with a json content type
    $response = Curl::to('http://foo.com/bar')
        ->withContentType('application/json')
        ->get();

Using proxies

If you need to send your requests via a proxy, you can use the 'withProxy()' method. The method takes five parameters:

• proxy url (required)
• port (optional)
• type of proxy scheme (optional, e.g. http://, https://, ...)
• username (optional)
• password (optional)

Optional parameters will be ignored if not filled in.

    use Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl;

    // Send a GET request to: http://www.foo.com/bar with a json content type
    $response = Curl::to('http://foo.com/bar')
        ->withProxy('192.168.1.1', 80, 'http://', 'Foo', 'Bar')
        ->get();

Sending files via Curl

For sending files via a POST request, you can use the withFile method to correctly format a request before sending:

    use Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl;

    $response = Curl::to('http://foo.com/bar')
        ->withData( array( 'Foo' => 'Bar' ) )
        ->withFile( 'image_1', '/path/to/dir/image1.png', 'image/png', 'imageName1.png' )
        ->withFile( 'image_2', '/path/to/dir/image2.png', 'image/png', 'imageName2.png' )
        ->post();

You can add as many files to the request as you want. A couple of things to keep in mind:

• When submitting files, the asJson() method and asJsonRequest() method cannot be used. If you do, the files will not be transferred correctly
• The files are added to the data that was provided in the withData() method using the first parameter of the withFile() method. If this key already exists, it will be overridden.

Downloading files

For downloading a file, you can use the download() method:

    use Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl;

    // Download an image from: file http://www.foo.com/bar.png
    $response = Curl::to('http://foo.com/bar.png')
        ->withContentType('image/png')
        ->download('/path/to/dir/image.png');

Using response objects

By default, the package will only return the content of the request. In some cases, it might also be useful to know additional request information, such as the HTTP status code and error messages should they occur. In this case, you can use the returnResponseObject() method, which will return an stdClass that contains additional information as well as the response content:

    use Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl;

    // Send a GET request to http://www.foo.com/bar and return a response object with additional information
    $response = Curl::to('http://www.foo.com/bar')
        ->returnResponseObject()
        ->get();
            
    $content = $response->content;

The response object will look like this:

{
   "content": "Message content here",
   "status": 200,
   "contentType": "content-type response header (ex: application/json)",
   "error": "Error message goes here (Only added if an error occurs)"
}

Response headers

In some cases it might be relevant to return the response headers back to the user. This can easily be done using the withResponseHeaders() method.

    use Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl;

    // Send a GET request to http://www.foo.com/bar and return a response object with additional information including response headers
    $response = Curl::to('http://www.foo.com/bar')
        ->withResponseHeaders()
        ->returnResponseObject()
        ->get();
            
    $content = $response->content;
    $headers = $response->headers;

The response object will look like this:

{
    "content": "Message content here",
    "status": 200,
    "contentType": "content-type response header (ex: application/json)",
    "error": "Error message goes here (Only added if an error occurs)",
    "headers": {
        "header-type-1": "header-content-1",
        "header-type-2": "header-content-2"
    }
}

It is important to note that the withResponseHeaders() method must be used in conjunction with the returnResponseObject() method in order to see the returned headers

Debugging requests

In case a request fails, it might be useful to get debug the request. In this case, you can use the enableDebug() method. This method uses one parameter, which is the name of the file in which the debug information is to be stored:

    use Ixudra\Curl\Facades\Curl;

    // Send a GET request to http://www.foo.com/bar and log debug information in /path/to/dir/logFile.txt
    $response = Curl::to('http://www.foo.com/bar')
        ->enableDebug('/path/to/dir/logFile.txt')
        ->get();

Using cURL options

You can add various cURL options to the request using of several utility methods such as withHeader() for adding a header to the request, or use the general withOption() method if no utility method applies. The package will automatically prepend the options with the CURLOPT_ prefix. It is worth noting that the package does not perform any validation on the cURL options. Additional information about available cURL options can be found here.

Method	Default value	Description
withTimeout()	30 seconds	Set the timeout of the request (integer or float)
withConnectTimeout()	30 seconds	Set the connect timeout of the request (integer or float)
allowRedirect()	false	Allow the request to be redirected internally
asJsonRequest()	false	Submit the request data as JSON
asJsonResponse()	false	Decode the response data from JSON
asJson()	false	Utility method to set both asJsonRequest() and asJsonResponse() at the same time
withHeader()	string	Add an HTTP header to the request
withHeaders()	array	Add multiple HTTP headers to the request
withContentType()	none	Set the content type of the response
withFile()	none	Add a file to the form data to be sent
containsFile()	false	Should be used to submit files through forms
withData()	array	Add an array of data to sent with the request (GET or POST)
setCookieFile()	none	Set a file to read cookies from
setCookieJar()	none	Set a file to store cookies in
withOption()	none	Generic method to add any cURL option to the request

For specific information regarding parameters and return types, I encourage you to take a look at ixudra\curl\src\Ixudra\Curl\Builder.php. This class has extensive doc blocks that contain all the necessary information for each specific method.

Usage without Laravel

Usage without Laravel is identical to usage described previously. The only difference is that you will not be able to use the facades to access the CurlService.

    $curlService = new \Ixudra\Curl\CurlService();

    // Send a GET request to: http://www.foo.com/bar
    $response = $curlService->to('http://www.foo.com/bar')
        ->get();

    // Send a POST request to: http://www.foo.com/bar
    $response = $curlService->to('http://www.foo.com/bar')
        ->post();

    // Send a PUT request to: http://www.foo.com/bar
    $response = $curlService->to('http://www.foo.com/bar')
        ->put();

    // Send a DELETE request to: http://www.foo.com/bar
    $response = $curlService->to('http://www.foo.com/bar')
        ->delete();

    // Send a HEAD request to: http://www.foo.com/bar
    $response = $curlService->to('http://www.foo.com/bar')
        ->head();

Planning

• Add additional utility methods for other cURL options
• Add contract to allow different HTTP providers such as Guzzle

Hi,

I am trying to loop throught a ical field and for each one save it in ical folder with a business id. Of course the file doesn't exist, I want the curl to download the file and save it as a specified name.

Here's the code:

public function handle()

    $ids = Business::pluck('id');
    foreach ($urls as $url) {
        foreach ($ids as $id) {

Ways to make an authentication?

Hello everyone, I'm trying to "get" the data from the (Rest)api that I am using for my project, but I put the credentials to make the authentication and he gives me 'null' value, needless to say, it isn't make the authentication. I put the same values on postman and it can get the data.
What am I doing wrong? here is a sample of my code.
Thanks in advance

$curl = Curl::to($url)
            ->withData([
            'Content-Type' => 'application/json',   
            'EMAIL' => 'email',

400 error on DELETE request

I'm running a Laravel project within a Vagrant VM and am attempting to use delete() at an API endpoint I've created. I kept getting false, so I used enableDebug() and uncovered I was getting a 400 error. GET, POST, PUT, PATCH work well. Here's my log.

* Hostname was found in DNS cache
* Hostname in DNS cache was stale, zapped
*   Trying 127.0.53.53...
* Connected to ***-api.***.dev (127.0.53.53) port 80 (#74)
> DELETE /accounts/59/payment-methods/delete/card_**** HTTP/1.1
Host: ***-api.***.dev
Accept: */*

* The requested URL returned error: 400 Bad Request
* Closing connection 74

I removed where I was doing it with your lib and tried the request with PHP's standard CURL lib and it worked fine.

//$response = Curl::to($endpoint)->delete();
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $endpoint);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "DELETE");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$result = json_decode($result);
curl_close($ch);

return json_encode($result);

I'll be looking into the service and trying to see if I can patch it. If I can, I'll submit a PR.

Laravel 5.1 - Class 'Ixudra\Curl\CurlServiceProvider' not found

I don't know if it's only me, but I have Laravel 5.1

Added "ixudra/curl": "^5.1" on composer.js

When I add "Ixudra\Curl\CurlServiceProvider::class" on config/app.php and execute "composer install" the installation stops with the error "Class 'Ixudra\Curl\CurlServiceProvider' not found"

Add allowRedirect() utility method

        $response = \Curl::to($url)
            ->withData( $postData )
            ->withOption('FOLLOWLOCATION', true)
            ->post();

would become

        $response = \Curl::to($url)
            ->withData( $postData )
            ->allowRedirect()
            ->post();

How to treat HTTP status codes?

Suppose I have something like:

$response = Curl::to('localhost/foo/bar')
            ->withData($data)
            ->asJson()
            ->put();

How do I process the incoming status code (200, 400, etc.)?

Add file upload feature

See kaluax@781195b#commitcomment-17537474 for details

Code sample:

function uploadFile($serverPath, $filePath)  {
    $url = 'https://...';

    $cfile = curl_file_create($filePath);

    $data = [
        'action' => 'upload',
        'href' => $serverPath,
        'userfile' => $cfile
    ];

    $curl = Curl::to($url);

    $curl = $curl->withOption('HTTPAUTH', CURLAUTH_BASIC);
    $curl = $curl->withOption('USERPWD', "user:pass");

    $curl = $curl->withData($data);

    $response = $curl->post();

    return $response;
}

withData on GET request uses &

Hi there,

In Builder.php the appendDataToURL method uses http_build_query but doesn't specify an arg_seperator command as it does in the forgeOptions method. This results in GET params being built as GET /some/endpoint/?arg1=someValue&arg2=anotherValue which causes problems for some web services as they expect just a plain '&'.

Is this by design? If not could the code be patched to specify the '&' as it does in the forgeOptions method?

Thanks

Return Null

Hello,
Thanks for being awesome library.

$response = Curl::to($this->base_url."lokasi")
        ->withHeader('Authorization: Bearer '.$this->access_token)
        ->withHeader('Accept: application/json')
        ->get();

That's my code, In local working properly. But when upload to server always return null that's code.
When I check on postman working properly with URL, and acces token on server. Do you have any solutions or suggestion for the best solutions?

Thank you very much

Feature Request: Xdebug param support

Feature reuest.

I found my self extending the libray in my app just to add XDEBUG_SESSION_START param to the URL. I'd be nice to be added automatically by a env param or a second arg to the "to" method.

What I'm doing is to use the APP_DEBUG default env param to know when to add the XDEBUG param and if I need a value for that param then I use a seconds custom env variable to do so.

How to display http response code

I've tried adding curl options like

i m getting this error when hitting the target link by ixudra/curl
"Authentication credentials were not provided"

Laravel 5.4 Support

Seems that only one update needs to be made to support Laravel 5.4:

$this->app['Curl'] = $this->app->share

to

$this->app['Curl'] = $this->app->singleton

Keep getting 400 bad request

Hi, using this pack I have 'translated' this:

$ curl \
 -H 'Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN' \
 -H 'Accept: application/vnd.wit.20160526+json' \
  'https://api.wit.ai/message?q=Bonjour'

to the Pack way like so:

Curl::to('https://api.wit.ai/message')
        ->withData([
                'q' => 'Bonjour',
                'access_token' => 'token',
        ])
        ->asJson()
        ->get();

And it all works fine.
But when I try to 'translate':

$ curl -XPOST 'https://api.wit.ai/converse?v=20160526&session_id=123abc&q=Bonjour' \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -H "Accept: application/json" \
      -H 'Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN'

to Curl syntacs like so:

Curl::to('https://api.wit.ai/converse')
        ->withData([
                'v' => '20170114',
                'session_id' => '123abc',
                'q' => 'Bonjour',
        ])
        ->withContentType('application/json')
        ->withHeaders([
                'access_token' => 'token',
            ])
        ->asJson()
        ->post();

I get The requested URL returned error: 400 Bad Request.

Can you please help to represent the above code with this pack.

Update curl file upload to use new PHP7 CurlFile feature

PHP 5.5 introduced a CurlFile object that deprecates the old @filename syntax
See: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/curl-file-upload for details

function getCurlFileValue($filename, $contentType, $postname) 
{
    if (function_exists('curl_file_create')) {
        return curl_file_create($filename, $contentType, $postname);
    }

Facing error - 400 bad request

Hi,

I have a code to which I have converted according to your way that looks more elegant and easier to understand but that is giving error.

The original code is
$data = [ 'recipient'=>['id'=>$sender], 'message'=>['text'=>$message_to_reply]];

//Encode the array into JSON.
$jsonDataEncoded = $jsonData;
$jsonDataEncoded = json_encode ($data);

//Tell cURL that we want to send a POST request.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

//Attach our encoded JSON string to the POST fields.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $jsonDataEncoded);

//Set the content type to application/json
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'));

$fp = fopen('errorlogfb.txt', 'w');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_STDERR, $fp);

//Execute the request
if(!empty($input['entry'][0]['messaging'][0]['message'])){
$result = curl_exec($ch);
}

and the one using your package is:

$response = Curl::to($url)
->withData($jsonData)
->withContentType('application/x-www-form-urlencoded')
->asJson()
->enableDebug('curlLogFile.txt')
->post();

The error that I am getting is:

• Hostname graph.facebook.com was found in DNS cache

missing-input-response and missing-input-secret

        $captcha = Curl::to('https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify')
            ->withData(array(
                'secret' => 'my_secret', 
                'response' => $recaptcha_response,
                'remoteip' => $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
            ))->asJson(true)->post();

I get...

[error-codes] => Array
        (
            [0] => missing-input-response
            [1] => missing-input-secret
        )

I can get this working using curl-less code... so I am not sure why this seems to not send my post data?

Proxy Support.

Hi
I would first thank you for the great work. I know I should not put this as an issue, but I did not know where to write it.

I want to ask if you have any plans to support making requests through a proxy ?

Thanks.

issues with authentication on API

Hey,

Love this plugin so far but having some issues with getting an api to authenticate. i have it working in PHP with the following:

 $ch = curl_init();

    // prepare cookie file
    $cookie_file_path = "unifi_cookie.txt";
    $fp = fopen ($cookie_file_path , "wb");
    fclose ($fp);

    // log into the API
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $baseurl.'/api/login');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie_file_path);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie_file_path);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    $data = array( "username" => $username, "password" => $password );
    $data_json = json_encode($data);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_json);
    $contents = curl_exec ($ch);

    /**
     * Close cURL session
     */
    curl_close ($ch);

My code so far with the plugin is as follows:

        Curl::to($this->baseURL().'/api/login')
            ->withData(array( "username" => $username, "password" => $password ))
            ->asJson()
            ->returnResponseObject()
            ->withOption('RETURNTRANSFER','1')
            ->withOption('VERBOSE', 'true')
            ->withOption('SSL_VERIFYPEER', 'false')
            ->withOption('SSL_VERIFYHOST', 'false')
            ->withOption('SSLVERSION', '1')
            ->setCookieFile("/var/tmp/unifi_cookie.txt")
            ->setCookieJar("/var/tmp/unifi_cookie.txt")
            ->enableDebug('/var/log/nginx/unifiapi.txt')
            ->post();

i have tried multiple different things,i have json encoded the array manually and put it as data but still says it cant login:

{#235 \u25bc
  +"data": []
  +"meta": {#237 \u25bc
    +"msg": "api.err.LoginRequired"
    +"rc": "error"
  }
}

Use Basic Auth

Hi, I'm trying to access an api, and they gave me the following command:

curl -u 123login:456passwd https://someurl
When I use cmd, I just replace 123login and 456passwd by my credentials.

I have tried to pass the credentials in my headers, as follow
$headers = array("Authorization"=>"login:passwd","CacheControl"=>"no-cache");
$response = Curl::to('http://url)
->withHeaders($headers)
->withData($someData);

But I keep getting a 401 error thrown at me because the authentication is incorrect.
However, the api works perfectly with the same credentials in Postman.
I have also tried to base64_encode my credentials and pass them as the auth value without any success.

XML by post

Why "withData" parameter must be type of array ?

I need to send an XML by post, but it's not possible as array, and can't user "withPackageOption" because is a protected function.

Thanks
