Additional Connection Requirements

If you need any additional configuration of the HTTP connection, then you can supply a "client" element to the constructor's array argument, and pass any \GuzzleHttp\ClientInterface object to that. Check the documentation of Guzzle Request Options as all of these can also be passed in the constructor of the \GuzzleHttp\Client.

<?php

require "vendor/autoload.php";

$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client([
    "base_uri" => "http://localhost:5984"
    // set any other options here
]);

$server = new \PHPCouchDB\Server(["client" => $client]);
echo $server->getVersion();

Need Functionality That Isn't Supported

First of all: open an issue so we know what you looked for and missed.

Then, use \PHPCouchDB\Server::getClient to get the \GuzzleHTTP\Client. Since CouchDB is a pure HTTP interface, you can use the client and the excellent Guzzle documentation to do whatever it is you need.
