rfc1867

Fresh PHP implementation of rfc1867

• Originally I had planned on using https://github.com/imiskolee/FormUpload
  • bound to CURL (we all use it, but I found the API cumbersome)
  • I wanted to be able to inject any PSR compliant Request source instead
  • Turns out it doesn't support multipart (this now passes the examples given in the RFC, I would like to make it more Robust)
  • I wanted to put a composer.json in and bundle it onto packagist

Working with

composer

composer require lewiscowles/rfc1867
composer install
composer dumpautoload

dev testing

git clone https://github.com/Lewiscowles1986/rfc1867
cd rfc1867
composer install
composer dumpautoload
phpunit

Contributing

I'd really like to ensure this is more robust (presently it's a reference coded in a few hours)

• We need issues so that unit-test cases can be made
• We need testing with an endpoint that parses rfc1867
• We need clarification on binary encoding format and to encompass that into Attachment implementation
• We probably need to split into a few smaller projects
  • separate NodeInterface repo
  • separate FormInput and Attachment
• See https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-index.html and find related RFC's for interop & advancement
  • https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1867.txt
  • https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2854.txt
  • https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2388.txt
  • https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7578.txt
• All changes require the following
  • tests to pass
  • class-diagram to be updated (as necesarry)
  • documentation to be updated (as necesarry)

Goals

• I'd love to be able to get a few more RFC's implemented with unit-tests.
• I'd like for this to be an alternative to reading the RFC documentation.
• I'd like to de-couple from the guzzle/http-message and have that only as a dev dependency for unit-tests.
