I need to call an external URL and check the status in laravel 5.4.
I've looked at using Guzzle:
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
....
$client = new Client();
$res = $client->get('some-external-url');
dd($res->getBody());
But with dusk testing and other new things in 5.4, is there a better method now? Also guzzle doesnt appear to be a dependency anymore.
