Does Zend_Http_Client support http pipelining?

[Steven-81]

Hi all,

Quick question, couldnt really figure it out from the manual - does
Zend_Http_Client support pipelining (sending get multiple requests to
the same host in one packet) ?

I note the use of the Keep-Alive header, but am unsure of how to add
multiple paths to the same request instance, and then how the response
will be formated. Any tips appreciated.

Cheers,

Steven

Hi,

It doesn't look like this have been answered, so I'll give it a shot.

I'm not entirely sure what "pipelining" is. You can set the keepalive =>
true configuration option to keep the connection open between requests
of the same Zend_Http_Client object.

Something like:

<?php

$client = new Zend_Http_Client('http://example.com/1.html',
array('keepalive' => true));

$res1 = $client->request();

$client->setUri('http://example.com/2.html');
$res2 = $client->request();

?>

Now you have the two responses in $res1 and $res2 - and the connection
should not have been closed between them (if supported by the server of
course).

Shahar.
