* Package name : php-ralouphie-getallheaders Version : 3.0.0 Upstream Author : Ralph Khattar <ralph.khat...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/ralouphie/getallheaders * License : MIT Programming Lang: PHP Section : php Description: PHP getallheaders() polyfill for cross-platform compatibility This package provides a polyfill for the PHP `getallheaders()` function, ensuring compatibility across different PHP environments and web servers. The `getallheaders()` function is not available on all PHP installations, particularly on some web servers, and this polyfill provides a consistent implementation. The polyfill is compatible with PHP >= 5.6 and provides the same interface as the native `getallheaders()` function, making it easy to use in applications that need to access HTTP headers in a cross-platform manner. Rationale: This package is required as a dependency for FOSSology, an open source license compliance system. FOSSology uses PHP-based tools for source code analysis and license detection, which need to access HTTP headers in a consistent way across different deployment environments. The getallheaders() polyfill is essential for: - Web-based tools in FOSSology that need to access HTTP headers - Cross-platform compatibility when deploying FOSSology on different servers - Ensuring consistent behavior regardless of the underlying web server - Supporting applications that rely on HTTP header access for functionality Technical Details: - Requires PHP >= 5.6 - Provides a single function: getallheaders() - Uses file-based autoloading (src/getallheaders.php) - No runtime dependencies - Comprehensive test suite included - MIT licensed for maximum compatibility Dependencies: - php (>= 5.6) - Build dependencies: phpunit (for testing) The package will be maintained by Ahmed Gamal <ahmed.gamal9...@gmail.com> as part of the FOSSology packaging effort. -- Ahmed Gamal FOSSology Debian Packaging Team
