Properties

Methods

getMethod()

Retrieves the HTTP method of the request.

public getMethod() : string
Return values
string

Returns the request method.

getRequestTarget()

Retrieves the message's request target.

public getRequestTarget() : string

Retrieves the message's request-target either as it will appear (for clients), as it appeared at request (for servers), or as it was specified for the instance (see withRequestTarget()).

In most cases, this will be the origin-form of the composed URI, unless a value was provided to the concrete implementation (see withRequestTarget() below).

If no URI is available, and no request-target has been specifically provided, this method MUST return the string "/".

Return values
string

withMethod()

Return an instance with the provided HTTP method.

public withMethod(string $method) : static

While HTTP method names are typically all uppercase characters, HTTP method names are case-sensitive and thus implementations SHOULD NOT modify the given string.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the changed request method.

Parameters
$method : string

Case-sensitive method.

Tags
throws
InvalidArgumentException

for invalid HTTP methods.

Return values
static

withRequestTarget()

Return an instance with the specific request-target.

public withRequestTarget(mixed $requestTarget) : static

If the request needs a non-origin-form request-target — e.g., for specifying an absolute-form, authority-form, or asterisk-form — this method may be used to create an instance with the specified request-target, verbatim.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the changed request target.

Parameters
$requestTarget : mixed

(for the various request-target forms allowed in request messages)

Return values

withUri()

Returns an instance with the provided URI.

public withUri(UriInterface $uri[, bool $preserveHost = false ]) : static

This method MUST update the Host header of the returned request by default if the URI contains a host component. If the URI does not contain a host component, any pre-existing Host header MUST be carried over to the returned request.

You can opt-in to preserving the original state of the Host header by setting $preserveHost to true. When $preserveHost is set to true, this method interacts with the Host header in the following ways:

  • If the Host header is missing or empty, and the new URI contains a host component, this method MUST update the Host header in the returned request.
  • If the Host header is missing or empty, and the new URI does not contain a host component, this method MUST NOT update the Host header in the returned request.
  • If a Host header is present and non-empty, this method MUST NOT update the Host header in the returned request.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the new UriInterface instance.

Parameters
$uri : UriInterface

New request URI to use.

$preserveHost : bool = false

Preserve the original state of the Host header.
