README

super-kernel/http-message provides PSR-7 message objects and request-scoped message access for SuperKernel. Its message objects implement psr/http-message 2.0 and have no native server dependency.

The package provides:

Message, the shared immutable message base;
Request and ServerRequest;
Response;
Uri;
string, native-resource, file, iterable, callback, and read-only stream implementations;
UploadedFile;
Context\RequestContext and Context\ResponseContext plus their stateless PSR DI providers.

Source organization

Paths below are relative to src/ and the package namespace.

Directory	Responsibility
`Stream`	PSR stream implementations and their shared `ResourceStreamBehavior` trait.
`Context / Provider`	Typed request-local access and stateless PSR delegates.

Implementation helpers retain an @internal boundary; a responsibility namespace does not make them extension points.

Public namespaces

Use the following component declarations:

Stream\ResourceStreamBehavior

Basic usage

use SuperKernel\HttpMessage\Request;
use SuperKernel\HttpMessage\Response;
use SuperKernel\HttpMessage\Stream\StringStream;

$request = new Request('GET', 'https://example.test/widgets?limit=10');
$request = $request->withHeader('Accept', 'application/json');

$response = new Response(
    statusCode: 200,
    headers: [
        'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
    ],
    body: new StringStream('{"items":[]}'),
);

Messages, requests, responses, and URIs use PSR-7 copy-on-write methods. A changed value is returned as a new object; the original object remains unchanged. Bodies intentionally retain PSR-7 stream identity and may therefore have a mutable cursor.

Streams and uploads

Create one stream class for each source scenario through its public constructor:

use SuperKernel\HttpMessage\Stream\FileStream;
use SuperKernel\HttpMessage\Stream\ResourceStream;
use SuperKernel\HttpMessage\Stream\StringStream;

$memory = new StringStream('payload');
$resource = new ResourceStream($nativeResource);
$file = new FileStream('/srv/application/data.json');

Each stream owns its attached native resource. close() closes it and detach() transfers the resource to the caller. Detached or closed streams reject operations that require a resource. StringStream, ResourceStream, and FileStream keep source creation separate while sharing only their internal resource lifecycle behavior.

Use behavior-specific implementations when the source is not naturally represented by one native resource:

use SuperKernel\HttpMessage\Stream\CallbackStream;
use SuperKernel\HttpMessage\Stream\IterableStream;
use SuperKernel\HttpMessage\Stream\ReadOnlyStream;

$chunks = new IterableStream([
    'first',
    'second',
]);
$callback = new CallbackStream($reader);
$readOnly = new ReadOnlyStream($memory);

Iterable and callback streams are readable, forward-only, and report an unknown size. Iterable values must be strings; callback readers receive the requested byte count and return a non-empty string or null at end of source. read() returns as soon as the source has produced any bytes and never waits for the full requested length, so a slow producer such as an event stream reaches its consumer one chunk at a time; a chunk larger than the request stays buffered for later reads. Their detach() method releases the producer and returns null. ReadOnlyStream delegates reads, seeks, metadata, closure, and detachment to another PSR stream while rejecting writes. All stream contents remain bytes; serialization of arrays or objects belongs outside the stream layer.

UploadedFile accepts either a StreamInterface, a local temporary path, or no source for unsuccessful uploads. After moveTo() succeeds, getStream() and a second move fail as required by PSR-7.

Scoped access

RequestContext and ResponseContext store the current messages under the PSR interface keys in SuperKernel\Context\Context. Provider\RequestProvider and Provider\ResponseProvider delegate each declared PSR call to those current messages through private methods, so a retained provider does not capture invocation-specific state. The providers implement and are registered directly for Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface and Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface; they do not expose magic forwarding, context accessors, or native transport objects.

URI behavior

Uri normalizes schemes and hosts to lowercase, removes standard HTTP and HTTPS ports from the rendered authority, preserves valid percent-encoded octets, and percent-encodes invalid component bytes without double encoding.

Scope

This package does not provide psr/http-factory factories, routing, middleware plans, controller invocation, native request adaptation, response emission, callback registration, or protocol exception recovery. Native runtime integration remains an HTTP Server responsibility.
