HTTP Server Middleware
======================

[](#http-server-middleware)

Deprecation warning!
====================

[](#deprecation-warning)

**Starting January 22nd, 2018 http-interop is officially deprecated in favor of [PSR-15](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-15-request-handlers.md).**

From v1.1, this package directly extends PSR-15 interfaces to provide backwards compatibility and should no longer be added to new projects.

Please switch to `psr/http-server-middleware` as soon as possible.

Version Constraint Warning
--------------------------

[](#version-constraint-warning)

To continue using this package for backwards compatibility, use the following version constraint to avoid a type error:

```
{
    "require": {
        "http-interop/http-server-middleware": "^1.1.1"
    }
}
```

See [issue #6](https://github.com/http-interop/http-server-middleware/issues/6) for details.
