I want to try out the guzzle library and am following through their quickstart tutorial to make http requests to an api.
Yet it doesn't seem to work, because I get the following error:
cURL error 3: <url> malformed
Since I have never worked with cURL before, I don't even know how to respond to that error message. Here is my code with the request I am making:
$client = new Client();
$client->get('/', ['verify' => true]);
$response = $client->get('https://api.github.com/');
dd($response);
I am using the Laravel 5 framework and calling the index method in my HomeController. Also am using WAMP.
I would appreciate any help and suggestion, because I would like to try Guzzle out.
Here is a picture of the Error Message I get:
If you want to disable verification (don't do this!):
$response = $client->get('https://api.github.com/', ['verify' => false]);
Rather than disabling verification entirely, this can likely be fixed by providing proper CA bundle file. See verify
in Guzzle documentation.
$client->setDefaultOption(
'verify',
'C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt'
);
