Guzzle: handle 400 bad request

Question

I'm using Guzzle in Laravel 4 to return some data from another server, but I can't handle Error 400 bad request

 [status code] 400 [reason phrase] Bad Request 

using:

$client->get('http://www.example.com/path/'.$path,             [                 'allow_redirects' => true,                 'timeout' => 2000             ]); 

how to solve it? thanks,

Answer 1

As written in Guzzle official documentation: http://guzzle.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart.html

A GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException is thrown for 400 level errors if the exceptions request option is set to true

For correct error handling I would use this code:

use GuzzleHttp\Client; use GuzzleHttp\Exception\RequestException;  try {      $response = $client->get(YOUR_URL, [         'connect_timeout' => 10     ]);              // Here the code for successful request  } catch (RequestException $e) {      // Catch all 4XX errors           // To catch exactly error 400 use      if ($e->hasResponse()){         if ($e->getResponse()->getStatusCode() == '400') {                 echo "Got response 400";         }     }      // You can check for whatever error status code you need       } catch (\Exception $e) {      // There was another exception.  } 

Answer 2

$client->get('http://www.example.com/path/'.$path,             [                 'allow_redirects' => true,                 'timeout' => 2000,                 'http_errors' => true             ]); 

Use http_errors => false option with the request.
