Raw Data

[cboden]

Feature request: When making a request with the Guzzle\Http\Request object I need the ability to set/get a raw body/query (as a string). Currently (if I understand correctly) it must be a Guzzle\Common\Collection object with key/val pairing.

This is needed (for example) when making a request to many Google APIs. Currently I'm (without Guzzle, want to switch) doing a cURL request setting CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to a raw json string.

Hi Chris,

Are you trying to set a raw body for a put or post request? If so, you can use the setBody() method of an EntityEnclosingRequest object (which is automatically created when calling out or post on a Client object).

I see. I was using RequestFactory::fromMessage() and receiving a Request object (method was GET).

Showing me the EntityEnclosingRequest object helped me better understand how Guzzle works...I need an EntityEnclosingRequest object from a message string that uses GET. To accomplish this I will extend RequestFactory in my own library and create a method to do this.

I realize what I'm trying to do is a total fringe case. Thank you for your help!
