Configuring Elastica HTTP client

Setting HTTP Headers

It may be necessary to set HTTP headers on the Elastica client, for example an Authorization header.

They can be set using the headers configuration key:

# app/config/config.yml
fos_elastica:
    clients:
        default:
            hosts: ['http://example.com:80']
            headers:
                Authorization: "Basic jdumrGK7rY9TMuQOPng7GZycmxyMHNoir=="

HTTP Authentication

It may be necessary to set HTTP Basic authorization on the Elastica client.

They can be set using the username and password configuration keys:

# app/config/config.yml
fos_elastica:
    clients:
        default:
            hosts: ['http://example.com:80']
            username: 'The_user'
            password: 'Password!'

Setting SSL options

It may be necessary to set SSL options on the Elastica client. These options are the same for Guzzle and Symfony HttpClient.

They can be set using the client_config configuration key and following 4 options:

# app/config/config.yml
fos_elastica:
    clients:
        default:
            hosts: ['http://example.com:80']
            client_config:
              ssl_cert: 'certificate'
              ssl_key: 'ssl key'
              ssl_verify: true
              ssl_ca: 'path/to/http_ca.crt'

Setting other client options

Any other client option for Elastica client can be set using the client_options configuration key:

# app/config/config.yml
fos_elastica:
    clients:
        default:
            hosts: ['http://example.com:80']
            client_options:
              !php/const \CURLOPT_RANDOM_FILE: /dev/urandom
              proxy: 'http://localhost:8125'
              connect_timeout: 10 # if using Guzzle
