Basic Usage

Responses are always asynchronous, so they are ready as soon as the response

HTTP headers are received, instead of waiting to receive the entire response

contents::

This component also supports:ref:`streaming responses<http-client-streaming-responses>`

for full asynchronous applications.

Authentication

The HTTP client supports different authentication mechanisms. They can be

defined globally when creating the client (to apply it to all requests) and to

each request (which overrides any global authentication, if defined)::

Injecting the HTTP Client Into Services

If you have several clients, you must use any of the methods defined by Symfony

to ref:`choose a specific service <services-wire-specific-service>`. Each client

has a service associated with it whose name follows the pattern

``client type + client name`` (e.g. ``http_client.crawler``, ``api_client.github``).

has a unique service named after its configuration.
