There is an easy way to send requests with Zend_Http_Client either in GET and POST. Actually you can request not only with GET and POST methods, but with any other http request method.
$httpClient = new Zend_Http_Client('http://....'); // request via post $response = $httpClient->request(Zend_Http_Client::POST); // or get $response = $httpClient->request(Zend_Http_Client::GET);
However the interesting and useful thing is that you can perform authenticated requests:
$httpClient = new Zend_Http_Client('http://username:password@example.com'); // or define it later $httpClient = new Zend_Http_Client('http://example.com'); $httpClient->setAuth('username', 'password');
That’s an opportunity to send/receive authenticated POST requests.
$httpClient = new Zend_Http_Client('http://username:password@example.com'); // now post $httpClient->request(Zend_Http_Client::POST);
