Sending a simple POST request from a controller symfony2 without cUrl

Question

I think there is a quite easy answer but, I tried to send a POST request to a REST api from a controller like that :

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

...

$request = Request::create('127.0.0.1', 'POST', array('test' => 'this is a test'));

but It did nothing, is there anything missing like send or execute method ? Thanks a lot

By doing so, you're only creating Request object. No actual request will be sent out.

To do that I suggest you use: Buzz

Ultimately, you may use SensioBuzzBundle in order to have Buzz as service

EDIT:

Forgot to mention: I believe that buzz actually uses curl
