There's no harm in starting a proposal. I, for one, think it's a good
idea and would make a good PEAR package. This sounds like a good
proposal for PEAR.

I just asked to know if there were was some other way that I didn't
know for generating them. I will continue to make it and make the
formal proposal when it will be what I expect it to be.

Thanks. I've done them thinking about extensibility.

I was more thinking about having multiple generators and pick one at runtime.

Generators define some capacities: telling the parameters they
accept/require (a name, a size, ...) and some "tags" they have
(following RFC4122, creating unguessable UUIDs, being name-based,
...). The client calling the factory would define requirements (an
array of parameters, tags required) and the factory would pick one

HTTP_WebDAV_Server 1.0.0RC5 BC break; path confusion in different environments

Hi,

My colleagues and I have been successfully using HTTP_WebDAV_Server for a
long time and it generally works. One of the things we've always had to
work around is that versions up to 1.0.0RC4 looked for
$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'], which is not defined in many environments and seems
to be a rather historic way of doing things; according to
http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php it was for cases
where you had URLs like:

http://www.example.com/php/path_info.php/some/stuff?foo=bar

in which case PATH_INFO would be "/some/stuff"

In most modern environments many people (including us) just use something
like

RewriteRule /.*
/filesystem/path/to/some_front_controller_maybe_outside_the_docroot.php

and handle all the URLs in that front controller, in which case a request
for "/some/stuff?foo=bar" typically results in the following server
variables (these can also vary according to the use of mod_php vs CGI,
reverse proxies etc.; let's ignore that for now):

PATH_INFO is not defined
REQUEST_URI = /some/stuff?foo=bar
SCRIPT_NAME = /some/stuff

We always hacked around this by using a derived class of

[PEPr] Comment on XMPP::JAXL


Package source file is a 404 so I cannot review.

A high-quality XMPP library would be totally awesome for PEAR.

Quickly looking at the documentation the first change required for PEAR
acceptance is to make the file structure conform to PEAR's file structure
requirements.

The second is to use class constants instead of global constants.

Hi Michael,

Not sure why a 404 is returned for the pkg download link, shall update it.
Kindly download the source code from here:
https://github.com/abhinavsingh/JAXL

Will also look at PEAR code styling and see if anything what can be done to
make Jaxl PEAR compatible.

I just saw this proposal just now -- very cool stuff and certainly a great
addition to PEAR. :-)

Mike mentioned the preliminary things, let us know when they are done so we
can review more?
