GuzzleHttp\Client ignores base path in base_url

php guzzle

I'm using Guzzle in a set of PHPUnit-powered tests for a REST API.

I create my client as follows:

use GuzzleHttp\Client;

$client = new Client(['base_url' => ['http://api.localhost/api/{version}', ['version' => '1.0']]]);

This works fine, and I can make requests using the following code:

$request = $client->createRequest('GET', '/auth');
$request->setBody(Stream::factory(json_encode(['test'=>'data'])));
$response = $client->send($request);
$decodedResponse = $response->json();

However, Guzzle is ignoring the /api/{version} part of the base URL and makes the request to here:

http://api.localhost/auth

However, I would have expected it to make the request here:

http://api.localhost/api/1.0/auth

Have I mis-read the documentation and my expected behaviour is thus wrong, or is there some other option I need to enable to get it to append the /auth url to the /api/1.0 base path when making the request?

You're using an absolute path in your requests, so it's overriding the path set in the base URL. Guzzle follows RFC 3986 when combining URLs: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.2
