Install PECL_HTTP 1.xx on Ubuntu

Following to PHP.net documentation on HttpRequest i have written very nice code and want to use it

Then ie found that PECL_HTTP documentation on PHP.net is completely outdated, as PECL_HTTP 2.xx uses completely different concept and classes. I still want to use old version because i like it for now.

The problem is that when i type on my ubuntu 14 64-bit server:

pecl install pecl_http

or

pecl install pecl_http-1.7.1

I receive common message:

No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/pecl_http"

install failed

What is the problem?

Solution

  • PECL.PHP.NET server was down for many hours, now it's online again. I don't know why pecl install was reporting "no release found" instead of "network error", but this was the reason.
