V9 helper functions for reading http data

Developing with Concrete
5

I didn’t realise that - that’s a little annoying, as it means V8 code with documented helpers isn’t backwards compatible. The documentation needs updating then.

I do appreciate the decision to change to Guzzle though - it’s very well established and documented, and used in many other libraries and systems.

Yep, your example matches what I’ve just been adjusting, which looks pretty much like this now:

$baseURL = "https://someurl";
$data = ['foo'=>'bar'];

$app = \Concrete\Core\Support\Facade\Application::getFacadeApplication();
$version = $app->make('config')->get('concrete.version');

if (version_compare($version, '9.0', '<')) {
    $client = $app->make('http/client/curl');
    $client->setMethod('POST');
    $client->setEncType('application/json');
    $client->setRawBody(json_encode($data);
    $client->setUri($baseURL);
    $response = $client->send();
    $returnBody = $response->getBody();
} else {
    $client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
    $headers = ['json'=> $data];
    $response = $client->request('POST', $baseURL);
    $returnBody = $response->getBody()->getContents();
}

$return = json_decode($returnBody, true);

There might be a better way to test for v9, but I think this is at least clear as an example.

I don’t think you would access php://input with Guzzle as its for remote calls. php://input is really just a low-level way of accessing request data.
