apply_filters( 'pre_http_request', false|array|WP_Error $response, array $parsed_args, string $url )

Filters the preemptive return value of an HTTP request.

Description

Returning a non-false value from the filter will short-circuit the HTTP request and return early with that value. A filter should return one of:

  • An array containing ‘headers’, ‘body’, ‘response’, ‘cookies’, and ‘filename’ elements
  • A WP_Error instance
  • boolean false to avoid short-circuiting the response

Returning any other value may result in unexpected behavior.

Parameters

$response

A preemptive return value of an HTTP request. Default false.

$parsed_args

HTTP request arguments.

$url

The request URL.
