DEPRECATED

This package brnc/http-message-subset is deprecated as https://github.com/ebln/http-message-subset is now fully* PSR-7 compliant. They weren't very useful, either. PSR-7 isn't implementing these interfaces, so that PSR-7-compliant objects could not fulfil the interfaces despite implementing all the methods.

* http-message-subset being an adapter to Symfony1 classes cannot fulfil PSR-7's immutability requirement

Granular Interfaces as Subsets of PSR-7

For cases when PSR-7 is too much. And only a limited subset of the implemented methods is needed, possible or desired.

As a beginning only header related methods of the message are covered.

Definition in terms of RFC-7230

RFC-7230 as well as RFC-2616 defines the HTTP message as:

HTTP-message   = start-line
                 *( header-field CRLF )
                 CRLF
                 [ message-body ]

while the start-lines are defined as:

start-line     = request-line / status-line
request-line   = method SP request-target SP HTTP-version CRLF
status-line    = HTTP-version SP status-code SP reason-phrase CRLF

This packages now is referring to

• header-field·s as Headers
• Aggregation of start-line and header-field as Head
• header-field·s and the HTTP-version as CommonHead
• The message-body will be the Body
• everything together the Message
