   // Sets a HTTP header
   $http->header('Rest-Key', '...');

   // Set a proxy of type (http, socks4, socks5)
   $http->proxy('type', 'host', 'port', 'username', 'password');

   // Use basic authentication
   $http->auth('user', 'pass');

   // Sends data with the request
   $http->data('foo', 'bar');
   $http->data(['key' => 'value', ...]);

   // Disable redirects
   $http->noRedirect();

   // Check host SSL certificate
   $http->verifySSL();

   // Sets the timeout duration
   $http->timeout(3600);

   // Write response to a file
   $http->toFile('some/path/to/a/file.txt');

   // Sets a cURL option manually
   $http->setOption(CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);

});
