Requests is a HTTP library written in PHP, for human beings. It is roughly based on the API from the excellent Requests Python library. Requests is ISC Licensed (similar to the new BSD license) and has no dependencies, except for PHP 5.6+. Despite PHP’s use as a language for the web, its tools for sending HTTP requests are severely lacking. cURL has an interesting API, to say the least, and you can’t always rely on it being available.

This package provides an asynchronous HTTP client for PHP based on Amp. Its API simplifies standards-compliant HTTP resource traversal and RESTful web service consumption without obscuring the underlying protocol. The library manually implements HTTP over TCP sockets; as such it has no dependency on ext/curl. Streams entity bodies for memory management with large transfers. Supports all standard and custom HTTP method verbs.

...It's common that some of the HTTP client options depend on the URL of the request (e.g. you must set some headers when making requests to GitHub API but not for other hosts). If that's your case, the component provides scoped clients (using ScopingHttpClient) to autoconfigure the HTTP client based on the requested URL.
