(/me nods) That particular problem is not specific to this RFC, though. It's true for anything that gets into PHP. > There are also questions - a 1GB upload comes in, will interface implement > streams or some other way of handling that?

Interesting -- what happens *now* without the ServerRequest RFC? If a 1GB upload comes in (or a 200MB gallery upload of images), then it gets dealt with under the RFC in exactly the same with PHP deals with it right now. That is: probably by attempting to store the uploads on disk, then exposing the file information via $_FILES. > It's a way bigger job than I think the proposing person thinks, and it needs > major support from the project maintainers, because I'm 146% sure one person > will not be able to do it all and maintain it for next 10 years before it > becomes integral part of the core... It might well be a way bigger job than John & I think. However, I do have to point out that the vast majority of the functionality is pretty straightforward, and not terribly complex. It's certainly not at the PDO, XML, Filter, etc. level of intricacy. > This is something that needs to be tested and runned as a module for quite > some time before it is stable enough to be in the core anyway - just see what > happened to PDO - as far as I know, no one really wants to touch it, it's a > mess. I can't speak to PDO, but I can say that APIs very similar to the one proposed in the RFC have been around for a long time, implemented by many different developers in many different systems. This RFC represents a summation and condensation of those behaviors. -- Paul M.
