Check out download_url() – it’s only loaded in the admin, so you’ll have to include it (or write your own) if needed on the front-end. From download_url() you can use: $response = wp_remote_get( TCS_CPDF_REMOTE_ZIP, array( ‘timeout’ => 300, ‘stream’ => true, ‘filename’ => TCS_CPDF_LOCAL_ZIP ) );
Re the WP HTTP API look for the sslverify and sslcertificates args in this docs page: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_http/request/. sslverify defaults to true and sslcertificates accepts an absolute path to a certificate file. If you’re going to be doing a lot of lifting with this API (sounds like it for a real estate site), I would suggest … Read more
The proxy settings work just like a regular HTTP requests but in this case obviously routed through a proxy. In terms of WordPress the API’s transport layers all support proxy connections(fsockopen, fopen, cURL, ). The things about proxy configurations are they come in several flavors and each setup is different so it makes answering this … Read more
The output is generated by the rest_output_link_header(). This function is used in two actions, wp_head and template_redirect in default-filters.php:@line234. You can remove the function from those hooks to remove the output you wanted to remove. Put the following codes in your theme’s functions.php to achieve the desired result. remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘rest_output_link_wp_head’, 10); remove_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘rest_output_link_header’, … Read more
If you take a look at WP_HTTP->request() (which all related functions wrap) it provides a filter hook for the purpose of overriding making a request in favor of returning arbitrary data as response: // Allow plugins to short-circuit the request $pre = apply_filters( ‘pre_http_request’, false, $r, $url ); if ( false !== $pre ) return … Read more
Quite an edge case, but the accepted encoding types should be filterable nonetheless. I can see a few situations where fine, granular control over this header would be useful (as in adding an API that uses non-standard encoding). So, while there’s no stock hook for this, I have created a Trac ticket for it and … Read more
Less than an answer, but just a list of things straight from my experience with it – maybe you’ve overlooked something. Debugging the request & its results Without diggin’ too deep into the update process, but the WP HTTP API uses the WP_HTTP class. It also offers a nice thing: A debug hook. do_action( ‘http_api_debug’, … Read more
Try setting the data_format parameter in your request like so: $data = wp_remote_post($url, array( ‘headers’ => array(‘Content-Type’ => ‘application/json; charset=utf-8’), ‘body’ => json_encode($array_with_parameters), ‘method’ => ‘POST’, ‘data_format’ => ‘body’, )); It looks like the format may be defaulting to query, in which case WordPress attempts to format the data using http_build_query, which is giving you … Read more
