This method will try to detect the MIME type of a file. If the fileinfo extension is available, it will be used. If not, the mime_magic extension which is deprected but is still available in many PHP setups will be tried.

_getParametersRecursive(array $parray, bool $urlencode = false) : arrayHelper method that gets a possibly multi-level parameters array (get or post) and flattens it.
The method returns an array of (key, value) pairs (because keys are not necessarily unique. If one of the parameters in as array, it will also add a [] suffix to the key.
This method is deprecated since Zend Framework 1.9 in favour of self::_flattenParametersArray() and will be dropped in 2.0

setFileUpload(string $filename, string $formname, string $data = null, string $ctype = null) : \Zend_Http_ClientSet a file to upload (using a POST request)
Can be used in two ways:
- $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().
- $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.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $filename | string | Name of file to upload, or name to save as |
| $formname | string | Name of form element to send as |

setHeaders(string | array $name, mixed $value = null) : \Zend_Http_ClientSet one or more request headers
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.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $name | string | array | Header name, full header string ('Header: value') or an array of headers |
| $value | mixed | Header value or null |

setRawData(string | resource $data, string $enctype = null) : \Zend_Http_ClientSet the raw (already encoded) POST data.
This function is here for two reasons: 1. For advanced user who would like to set their own data, already encoded 2. For backwards compatibilty: If someone uses the old post($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.
