SSL Configuration

By default, this package uses SSL verification when connecting to Discord webhooks. This is recommended for production environments.

For Production Environments (Default):

The package uses the following Guzzle configuration by default, which includes SSL verification:

$this->client = new Client([
    'timeout' => 30,
    'connect_timeout' => 10,
    'verify' => true, // SSL verification enabled
]);

For Local Development or Troubleshooting:

If you're having connection issues in a local development environment or behind certain corporate firewalls, you may need to disable SSL verification temporarily:

1. Open src/Services/DiscordWebhookService.php
2. Find the client initialization in the constructor
3. Change the verify option to false:

$this->client = new Client([
    'timeout' => 30,
    'connect_timeout' => 10,
    'verify' => false, // SSL verification disabled
]);

⚠️ IMPORTANT SECURITY WARNING: Only disable SSL verification in local development environments. Never disable SSL verification in production as it makes your application vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.

Test Your Integration

After configuration, test your webhook integration:

# Basic test
