Stream::getContents() unexpected behavior about psr7 HOT 4 CLOSED

The $response->getBody() should be enough, however when calling it for the first time, you've to rewind it if you're planning to access content for the second time.

For example, I have called $response->getBody(), then when calling getContents();, the result was always empty. Doing $response->rewind(); in this case helped.

$contents = (string) $response->getBody();

vs

$contents = $response->getBody()->getContents();

The difference between the two approaches is that getContents returns the remaining contents, so that a second call returns nothing unless you seek the position of the stream with rewind or seek .

If you need to seek and store the entire stream in memory then cast the stream to a string using (string)

Hello, I hit one problem when use instance of GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Stream.

echo $response->getBody()->getContents();
method returns me empty string, although the logger show me correct response.

The problem was that the logger use (string) $response->getBody() and we seek to the end of stream.

Should we seek back before returns content?

public function getContents()
{
$this->rewind();
$contents = stream_get_contents($this->stream);

if ($contents === false) {
    throw new \RuntimeException('Unable to read stream contents');
}

return $contents;

}
Seems __toString() can call getContent().

Well, I think getContents meaning all body contents, not a part. To read body partial we have read($length). Or I''m wrong?
