Horde PSR-15 Server Middleware/RequestHandler implementation
============================================================

[](#horde-psr-15-server-middlewarerequesthandler-implementation)

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
------------

[](#design-goals)

### MVP

[](#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

[](#stretch-goals)

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

### Non-Goals

[](#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
