php - Can I add middleware to the default Guzzle 6 HandlerStack, rather than creating a new stack? -

i using spatie\crawler crawler software in standard way, so:

$client = new client([     requestoptions::cookies => true,     requestoptions::connect_timeout => 10,     requestoptions::timeout => 10,     requestoptions::allow_redirects => true, ]); $crawler = new crawler($client, 1); $crawler->     setcrawlprofile(new mycrawlprofile($starturl, $pathregex))->     setcrawlobserver(new mycrawlobserver())->     startcrawling($url); 

i've omitted definition of classes mycrawlprofile of mycrawlobserver brevity, anyway, works stands.

i want add middleware in order change requests before made, added demo code:

$stack = new handlerstack(); $stack->sethandler(new curlhandler()); $stack->push(     middleware::maprequest(function (requestinterface $request) {         echo "middleware running\n";          return $request;     }) ); $client = new client([     requestoptions::cookies => true,     requestoptions::connect_timeout => 10,     requestoptions::timeout => 10,     requestoptions::allow_redirects => true,     'handler' => $stack, ]); // ... rest of crawler code here ... 

however, falls on first hurdle - scrapes root of site (/) location redirect, , stops. turns out missing redirectmiddleware despite not having removed deliberately.

so, problem fixed adding this:

$stack->push(middleware::redirect()); 

i wonder other things set default in guzzle have accidentally removed creating fresh handlerstack. cookies? retry mechanisms? other stuff? don't need things right now, i'd bit more confident system's long-term reliability if code merely modified existing stack.

is there way that? far can tell, i'm doing things as per manual.

$stack = handlerstack::create(); 

instead of

$stack = new handlerstack(); $stack->sethandler(new curlhandler()); 

it's important, because create() adds additional middlewares, redirects.
