Gdata/HttpClient.php

Will create a new HTTP client. Accepts the target URL and optionally configuration array.

Note that if the header has more than one value, an array will be returned.

If $config['storeresponse'] is set to false, or no response was stored yet, will return null

$type should be one of the supported types - see the self::AUTH_* constants.

To enable authentication:

$this->setAuth('shahar', 'secret', Zend_Http_Client::AUTH_BASIC);

To disable authentication:

$this->setAuth(false);

If the client has no Cookie Jar, the cookies will be added directly to the headers array as "Cookie" headers.

A cookie jar is an object that holds and maintains cookies across HTTP requests and responses.

Can be used in two ways:

1. $data is null (default): $filename is treated as the name if a local file which will be read and sent. Will try to guess the content type using mime_content_type().
2. $data is set - $filename is sent as the file name, but $data is sent as the file contents and no file is read from the file system. In this case, you need to manually set the Content-Type ($ctype) or it will default to application/octet-stream.

This function can be used in several ways to set the client's request headers: 1. By providing two parameters: $name as the header to set (e.g. 'Host') and $value as it's value (e.g. 'www.example.com'). 2. By providing a single header string as the only parameter e.g. 'Host: www.example.com' 3. By providing an array of headers as the first parameter e.g. array('host' => 'www.example.com', 'x-foo: bar'). In This case the function will call itself recursively for each array item.

Validated the passed method and sets it. If we have files set for POST requests, and the new method is not POST, the files are silently dropped.

Wrapper around _setParameter

Wrapper around _setParameter

This function is here for two reasons: 1. For advanced user who would like to set their own data, already encoded 2. For backwards compatibilty: If someone uses the old post($data) method. this method will be used to set the encoded data.

$data can also be stream (such as file) from which the data will be read.

Example: foo%5B0%5D=a&foo%5B1%5D=b becomes foo=a&foo=b

This is usefull for some services
