How to use http_request_version filter in WordPress

Example 1: Basic Usage of http_request_version

Here’s a straightforward example of how you can modify the HTTP version for a request using the http_request_version filter. This example shows the basic structure you need in your functions.php or a custom plugin.

    function weplugins_modify_http_request_version_defaults($version, $url) { 
        // Update the $version variable according to your website requirements
        return $version; 
    }
    // add the filter
    add_filter( "http_request_version", "weplugins_modify_http_request_version_defaults", 10, 2 );
    

Example 2: Conditional HTTP Version Change

Sometimes, you might want to conditionally change the HTTP version based on the URL. Here’s how you can achieve that.

    function weplugins_conditional_http_version($version, $url) {
        if (strpos($url, 'example.com') !== false) {
            $version = '1.1';
        }
        return $version;
    }
    add_filter("http_request_version", "weplugins_conditional_http_version", 10, 2);
    

Example 3: Removing the Hook

If you need to remove the http_request_version filter at any point, here’s how you can do it. Ensure you provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments.

    remove_filter("http_request_version", "weplugins_modify_http_request_version_defaults", 10, 2);
