I'm doing some testing of Requests for PHP and I'd like to set a custom user-agent for a basic GET request.
Peeking at the source code, I thought perhaps this test would pass:
$url = 'http://httpbin.org/user-agent';
$user_agent = 'my-test-agent';
$options = array('useragent', $user_agent);
$response = Requests::get($url, array(), $options);
$json = json_decode($response->body, true);
$this->assertEqual($json['user-agent'], $user_agent);
However, http://httpbin.org/user-agent returns the default library value php-requests/1.6
as the user-agent.
Is it possible to do this or do I need to use the Requests_Session
object as demonstrated here?
You have to define the options this way:
$options = array('useragent' => $user_agent);
