Initializing JHttpTransportCurl class

Question

i am trying to call & get another url data.So is trying to create new instance of http class as follows -

jimport('joomla.http.http');
jimport('joomla.http.transport.curl');
$options = array();
$transport =  new JHttpTransportCurl($options); 
// Create a 'curl' transport.
$http = new JHttp($options, $transport);
$response = $http->get('http://api.example.com/shoes');

but it's not working as somewhere wrong in line 4. Please save my time hoping this is the right way to make call to another API url.

Answer 1

Just to have a valid answer.

The problem was in $options - it is an array, but JHttpTransportCurl constructor require JRegistry instance. So

$options = array();

should be changed to

$options = new JRegistry();
