README

The horde\http_server is an implementation of PSR-15. Together with horde\http, it provides all the necessary building blocks needed for a standalone website, a slim API microframework or for fullstack horde applications. The http_server library has evolved out of efforts to modernize the horde/controller library and accompanying core components.

Design goals

MVP

• horde/http_server aims at having few dependencies and subdependencies.
• Keep all the deeper Horde relations somewhere else
• Strict, simple implementation of a PSR-15 (middleware standard) ecosystem
• Through horde\http, adhere to PSR-7 (request/response standard), PSR-17 (request/response factories) and PSR-18 (HTTP client)
• allow opening the Horde ecosystem to external middleware vendors (avoid NIH)

Stretch Goals

• Support a PSR-3 logger (once we have one in the ecosystem)
• Passing external compliance tests (which?)

Non-Goals

• Backward compatibility with horde/controller (that library should offer a wrapper middleware instead)
• Advanced Routing (Integration should be done either in the router library or in a router middleware package)
• horde/core integration (That should be the job of horde/core or a separate package)
• httplug extensions
