Version 3.0/PSR-7 integration?
Dear ZF Team,
Is there a roadmap or plans for version 3.0 of this component, making it PSR-7 compilant?
Thinking about it, I can see 3 major responsibilities of this repo:
- HTTP message abstraction
- header manipulation
- HTTP client
With zend-diactoros covering "HTTP message", zend-http could be ultimately split into two repositories. A lot of PSR-7 applications could benefit from good header manipulation library (I didn't see anything like this centered around PSR-7 yet), that can be developed without spending time on migrating the client (well, we have Guzzle).
What do you think?
best,
For migration purposes, we will be keeping the component essentially as-is. The ZF2 MVC utilizes this component heavily, and we do not want to make migration from 2 to 3 difficult for MVC applications.
Additionally, the HTTP client predates Guzzle by several years, and is in use in a large number of applications; we do not want to make migration too difficult.
We will likely steer people towards PSR-7 implementations in the future, and I expect we'll take some of the header implementations here and migrate them to another library for folks to consume; however, we'll keep them intact here for existing users.
Otherwise, this component will not have active development going forward.
Thanks for your explanation.
So, if I understand it correctly, ZF3 MVC will still be based on zend-http's HTTP abstractions instead of PSR-7 (perhaps with some bridge, like in Symfony)?
I was asking, because I'm actually already using part of this library in my PSR-7 project, but it just feels bad to include full zend-http and its dependencies only to parse Content-Type header. Likely some of header classes would become easier to use if they had PSR-7 specific methods (like FIG Cookies).
Is there anything that can be done to make this separate header library sooner than later? I don't think there is a PSR-7 library like this around, and likely the demand will rise soon (even for Apigility 2.0?).
there is https://github.com/zendframework/zend-psr7bridge for it, it can be closed.
