Laravel 8 first introduced HTTP request pooling, thanks to a contribution from Andrea Marco Sartori. This allows developers to write code which will execute any number of HTTP requests concurrently. Under the hood, this is made possible thanks to the async request functionality of Guzzle and cURL’s multi handler functionality.

Lorna Jane gives a good overview of the tools available when working on an API.
As Web Developers, we need to know how to work with HTTP from every angle. I gave a 2-hour tutorial at PHP UK that included some of my most trusted tools - but it was sold out and a bunch of people asked me if there was video (there wasn't, tutorials make little sense when videoed).

Being able to restrict the features your site can use is really nice but being able to restrict features that sites you embed can use is an even better protection to have.

Almost a year ago, Scott Helme, creator of securityheaders.io and report-uri.com, wrote a blogpost on a not well known http header: Referrer-Policy.
Regular readers will know how fond I am of the existing security headers so it's great to hear that we're getting another! Referrer Policy will allow a site to control the value of the referer header in links away from their pages.

Most of the sites we build for our clients contain some sort of contact form. For those client such forms are potentially critical to their business.
