The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) [22] allows an HTTP [1],
[4] server and a CGI script to share responsibility for responding to client requests. RFC 3875

CgiHttpKernel adapter from kernel to cgi functional test “legacy” apps

kernel CGI

kernel CGI anything!

$kernel = new CgiHttpKernel(__DIR__.'/app'); $request = Request::create('/index.php'); $response = $kernel->handle($request);
var_dump($response->getContent());

use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Client; $client = new Client($kernel); $crawler = $client->request('GET', '/index.php');

caution: it’s slow (WIP: FcgiHttpKernel)

Where is the value?

HttpKernel middlewares

$app = new CallableHttpKernel(function ($request) { return new Response('Hello World!');
});

class Logger implements HttpKernelInterface { private $app; private $logger; public

$app = new Logger( $app, new Monolog\Logger() );

use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\HttpCache\HttpCache; use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\HttpCache\Store; $app = new HttpCache( $app, new

do something before or after every request

different take on event listeners

UrlMap $blog = new Silex\Application(); $blog->get('/', function () { return
'This is the blog!'; }); $app = new Stack\UrlMap($app, [ '/blog' => $blog, ]);

Session $app = new CallableHttpKernel(function ($request) { $session = $request->getSession();
... }); $app = new Stack\Session($app);

OAuth $app = new Igorw\Stack\OAuth($app, [ 'key' => 'foo', 'secret'
=> 'bar', 'callback_url' => 'http://localhost:8080/auth/verify', 'success_url' => '/', 'failure_url' => '/auth', ]); $app = new Stack\Session($app);

OAuth $request->attributes->get('oauth.token');

Composition!

$stack = (new Stack\Builder()) ->push('Stack\Session') ->push('Igorw\Stack\OAuth', [...]) ->push('Foo'); $app =
$stack->resolve($app);

It doesn’t stop there

• Authentication • Debug toolbar • Injected routes • Signed
cookies • Asset management • Force SSL • Error handling

Choose wisely
