@fabpot could you review it ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fabpot at 2012-04-04T07:15:34Z
My comments:
* `ServerBag` represents what we have in the `$_SERVER` global variables. As such, the code should be moved to the `getHeaders()` method instead like the other tweaks we do for the HTTP headers.
* A comment must be added explaining why this is needed and the configuration the user must have to make it work (then remove the Github URLs).
* The code should only be executed when `PHP_AUTH_USER` is not available (to not have any overhead when not needed).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A quick note on that .htaccess/apache configuration required, if adding to the Symfony SE htaccess file, then it will need to look like this:
```
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
```
NOTE: No **,L** in the Authorization Rewrite as in the original example - it prevents the front controller rewrite from happening

77185e0 [Routing] Allow spaces in the script name for the apache dumper
6465a69 [Routing] Fixes to handle spaces in route pattern
Discussion
----------
[Routing] Handling of space characters in the dumpers
The compiler was using the 'x' modifier in order to ignore extra spaces and line feeds but the code was flawed:
- it was actually ignoring all the spaces, not only the extra ones added by the compiler,
- all the spaces were stripped in the php and apache matchers.
The proposed fix:
- do not use the 'x' modifier any more (and then do no add extra spaces / line feeds),
- do not strip the spaces in the matchers,
- escapes the spaces (both in regexs and script name) for the apache matcher.
It also include [a small optimization](https://github.com/vicb/symfony/pull/new#L9L89) when the only token of a route is an optional variable token - the idea is to make the regex easier to read.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

@Baachi fixed now. Thanks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Tobion at 2012-04-10T16:01:31Z
+1, I saw no reason for pretty printing the regex in the first place (just for debugging I guess).
@vicb since you want to make the regex easier to read, I propose the remove the `P` from the variable regex `?P<bar>`, which is not needed anymore in PHP 5.3 (and we only support PHP 5.3+ anyway).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2012-04-10T16:08:36Z
@Tobion could you make a PR to this branch for the named parameters ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Tobion at 2012-04-10T16:12:34Z
I can include it in #3754 because I'm about the add 2 more fixes to it anyway.
But when I proposed to apply these fixes to 2.0 Fabien rejected it. So not sure what branch you want me to apply this.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2012-04-10T16:25:38Z
May be the best is to put it on hold while I am reviewing your PRs. There are already enough changes, we'll make an other PR after all have been sorted out.
What's the difference between 3754 and 3810 ? (3810 + 3763 = 3754 ?)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Tobion at 2012-04-10T16:39:32Z
Lol you forget to link the PR numbers. At first sight I thought it's some sort of mathematical riddle. Haha
#3810 is for 2.0 = #3763 (already merged) + #3754 for master
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2012-04-10T16:52:18Z
I didn't link on purpose... the question is if '=' means strictly or loosely equal (any diffs - beside master vs 2.0) ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Tobion at 2012-04-10T17:06:04Z
It just applies my changes to 2.0. Nothing more. So master still differs from 2.0 by the addional features that were already implemented (e.g. `RouteCollection->addCollection` with optional requirements and options). But since my changes are bug fixes (except the performance improvement in #3763 but that doesn't break anything and makes 2.0 easier to maintain) I thought they should go into 2.0 as well.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2012-04-10T17:14:27Z
@Tobion only bug fixes mean "only bug fixes". You should re-open a PR for 2.0 with "only bug fixes", you might want to wait for me to review 3754.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Tobion at 2012-04-10T17:21:00Z
Without #3763 it's much harder to apply the bug fixes. And now that I found 2 more bugs which requiresome rewriting of the PhpMatcherDumper, I don't want to apply all the commits by hand again for 2.0...
- The route compiler does not add extra space or line-feed,
- The generated regex does not use the 'x' modified any more,
- The PHP and apache matchers do not need to strip any chars (vs space and line feed before),
- The space characters are escaped according to the apache format

[Console] Fixes formatter nested style appliance.
Bug fix: yes
Feature addition: no
Backwards compatibility break: no
Symfony2 tests pass: yes
When outputing styled text in the console, you sometimes face to a confusing behavior: style tags cannot be nested. If tou try something like `<fg=blue>Hello <fg=red>world</fg=red>!</fg=blue>`, the trailing `!` will not be styled.
This PR introduce a new FormatterOutputStyleStack to keep open/closed styles informations up-to-date. It slightly changes OutputFormatter implementation which no longer uses `OutputFormatterStyle::apply()` method, but the new `OutputFormatterStyle::getTerminalSequence()`.
**Question:** I don't une `OutputFormatterStyleInterface` but `OutputFormatterStyle` to type `OutputFormatterStyleStack` methods arguments (to avoid BC break on the interface). Do you think it's right?
**Notice:** I also needed to fix some tests broken by new implementation.

@stof indeed... this is a problem, should I remove them? If I do so, I should use `OutputFormatterStyle` instead of the interface to type arguments in `OutputFormatterStyleStack` right?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by lsmith77 at 2012-02-14T19:30:39Z
the FlashBag vs. AutoExpireFlashBag behavior and setup difference should probably also be explained in the upgrading log
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by drak at 2012-02-15T04:43:14Z
@lsmith77 Those differences are explained already in the changelog
* Added `FlashBag`. Flashes expire when retrieved by `get()` or `all()`.
This makes the implementation ESI compatible.
* Added `AutoExpireFlashBag` (default) to replicate Symfony 2.0.x auto expire behaviour of messages auto expiring
after one page page load. Messages must be retrived by `get()` or `all()`.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Crell at 2012-02-19T17:35:34Z
Drak asked me to weigh in here with use cases. Drupal currently has a similar session-stored-messaging system in place that I'd like to be able to replace with Flash messages. We frequently have multiple messages within a single request, however, so this change is critical to our being able to do so.
For instance, when saving an article in Drupal there is, by default, a "yay, you saved an article!" type message that gets displayed. If you also have the site configured to send email when a post is updated, you may see a "email notifications sent" message (depending on your access level). If you have a Solr server setup for search, and you're in debug mode, there will also be a "record ID X added to Solr, it should update in 2 minutes" message. And if there's a bug somewhere, you'll also get, as an error message rather than notice message, a "Oops, E_NOTICE on line 54" message.
Form validation is another case. If you have multiple errors in a single form, we prefer to list all of them. So if you screw up 4 times on a form, you may get 4 different error messages showing what you screwed up so you can fix it in one go instead of several.
Now sure, one could emulate that by building a multi-message layer on top of single-layer messages, but, really, why? "One is a special case of many", and there are many many cases where you'll want to post multiple messages. Like, most of Drupal. :-)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by drak at 2012-03-08T18:54:13Z
Another plus for this PR is that it requires no extra lines of code in templates etc to display the flashes, see https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/3267/files#diff-1

[HttpFoundation] SPL on ParameterBag
Bug fix: no
Feature addition: yes
Backwards compatibility break: no
Symfony2 tests pass: yes
Added a couple SPL interfaces to ParameterBag, added shortcuts to working with the parameters. For example:
```php
<?php
$post = Request::createFromGlobal()->request;
echo "There are {count($post)} POST variables\n";
foreach ($post as $key => $val) {
echo "{$key}: {$val}\n";
}
```
Thoughts?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stealth35 at 2012-03-07T13:09:11Z
You already have the `all` method
``` php
<?php
$post = Request::createFromGlobals()->request->all();
echo "There are ", count($post), " POST variables\n";
foreach ($post as $key => $val) {
echo "{$key}: {$val}\n";
}
```
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by cboden at 2012-03-07T13:50:22Z
Yes, but when in the context of working with the Request object (or POST ParamegerBag), it's 1 more call and loose variable to set.
ParameterBag is a container, these common SPL interfaces give standard PHP container methods to it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does Symfony (or any of its dependencies) has Redis support in any form whatsoever? If not this might be a good point to decide which clients to support
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by lsmith77 at 2012-03-04T23:36:11Z
well ideally we just get this cache interface stuff done .. for this use case it would be perfect.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by pulzarraider at 2012-03-05T00:35:59Z
There is RedisProfilerStorage available (based on phpredis). I prefer and write code for [phpredis](https://github.com/nicolasff/phpredis).
It's recommended by [official Redis homepage](http://redis.io/clients#PHP). [In this benchmark](http://dev.af83.com/2011/01/01/which-php-library-to-use-with-redis-the-benchmark.html
) is fastest and less memory consumpting.
But if somebody prefer predis (with phpiredis), rediska or something other widely used, there are no limitations to add support of it to Symfony.
My opinion is, that the C extension should be supported at first, because of good performance and native session storage support. Redis is quite young and the process of creating PHP clients is comparable to Memcache.
There were created pure PHP Memcache clients in the past (Google found for example [this](http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/file/20284.html) and [this](http://code.blitzaffe.com/pages/phpclasses/files/memcached_client_52-12)), but they are not being used now. Everyone, who is seriously thinking about performance, is using only the C Redis/Memcache(d)/... extensions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by drak at 2012-03-05T07:40:06Z
+1 on this PR. Needs a test written though.
I don't think there is any need to wait for #3493 imo. I'll deal with it if this is merged before #3493.
Are there any PHP ini settings for this for this driver or is everything via the `session.save_path` directive? (A quick look at the C code seems to indicate there are no explicit ini directives).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by lstrojny at 2012-03-05T12:14:34Z
@pulzarraider I don’t necessarily disagree with the usage of phpredis, I just wanted to bring up the issues of various clients and people having different preferences about them.

@drak No there are no php.ini settings. Only RedisArray has some, but it's another feature.
@fabpot I've added simple test based on other session storage tests.
I planned to create a RedisSessionStorage, too, but I have no time for it now. This can be added later in another PR as it's independent from NativeRedisSessionStorage.

add JSONP support to JsonResponse
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by schmittjoh at 2012-03-19T17:56:24Z
I think a ``setCallback()`` method would be more expressive, and easier to use:
```php
<?php
return JsonResponse::create($myData)->setCallback('foo');
// vs
return new JsonResponse($myData, 200, array(), 'foo');
```

@vicb What do you mean with "some validation on the function name"? I can't follow you there.

I mean a valid JS function name

Ah I see, I searched for it, and ended up with those results:
* The most complete: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2008279/validate-a-javascript-function-name#answer-9392578
* and a less accurate one: http://www.geekality.net/2011/08/03/valid-javascript-identifier/
I'm not sure whether to put this into the `JsonResponse` itself, or to add somewhere else (where, if so?).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2012-03-20T09:45:20Z
I would go for a regexp only (ignoring reserved words); The idea would be not to use this to run arbitrary JS code.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fabpot at 2012-03-21T21:33:36Z
Now that you have added the `setCallback` method, I would remove the constructor argument as it makes the signature quite long. As we have the `create` method anyway, it's more explicit and clearer to use the `setCallback` .
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by havvg at 2012-03-21T21:37:51Z
So remove the callback argument from both, the constructor and the `create` method or only from the constructor?

Improved feedback for Upload Validator to cover all PHP error states.
The upload validator only sets individual messages for 2 out of the 7 error states PHP suports for uploading files. Which means when you have any of those 5 stats you get a standard error message and have to really dig into the code to read the error state.
I added messages for every state, so that you will always get a detailed message.

AFAIK you'll have to copy paste. String ids and source are the same in all translations so it really is just c/p after you update the first one.

Wouldn't it be better to throw an exception for such cases? A `trans-unit` without a `target` is useless anyway, no?

I'm using transifex (https://www.transifex.net/home/) and when a user doesn't translate an entry, transifex fills up a `trans-unit` node without a `target` children.

[Console] Stop parsing options after encountering "--" token
This enables support for arguments with leading dashes (e.g. "-1"), as supported by getopt in other languages.
[](http://travis-ci.org/jmikola/symfony)
The test suite currently fails due to 7a54fe41ca. ArgvInputTest passes, and these changes don't appear to break anything else.
Aside: This got me thinking about how one would pass an option value of "-1". I suppose for input options with `VALUE_OPTIONAL`, it would be ambiguous if "-1" followed; however, `VALUE_REQUIRED` should probably require that the next token is captured as the option value. In my tests, a required option value with a leading dash was interpreted as another option. The workaround for all of this is to use the space-less syntax (e.g. `-f=-1`).

AFAIK, the `--` should disable both option and argument parsing, no?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by jmikola at 2012-03-18T02:13:51Z
If that were the case, what would be the point of using `--` at all? :)

@fabpot - maybe we could benefit with a bit more sub-namespacing in this component. One for Response for example and probably one for Request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Seldaek at 2012-02-16T15:07:31Z
@drak Please no. Moving the session was already a pain IMO since it was type-hinted in a few places (lack of interface, and interface doesn't include flash stuff still). Creating BC breaks just for fun like that is annoying for interop of bundles. It doesn't matter whether we have 10 or 15 classes in one directory.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by drak at 2012-02-17T08:33:46Z
@francodacosta The most optimal place is `__toString()`.
@Saldaek It just looks like the whole namespace is getting more cluttered. I suggest it because things like Request/Response objects are surely only going to grow over time. There is always the possibility to make BC for moved and renamed classes so there doesn't have to be any extra complications for making things look cleaner. Anyway, just a thought :-)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stof at 2012-02-17T14:47:40Z
@drak Changing the namespace of a class is a BC break. The request and the response are used in many more places than the Session so it would be a real pain to update this. And the component is tagged with ``@api`` so BC breaks are forbidden without a good reason. The session refactoring was one as it was really an issue in the implementation, but simply renaming the class is not.

I'm -1 for adding this to the core. It does not add much value and why add a special response for JSON and not other formats?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Seldaek at 2012-03-05T18:38:05Z
I think it's useful because it's a class we need in almost every project, and I don't think we're alone. It's super simple but makes me wonder every time why I have to recreate it. I don't want an additional bundle just for 3lines of code. Similarly I would say a JsonpResponse would be great, or maybe just an optional $callback arg to the json response to enable jsonp mode.
I just had someone ask me on irc how to do JSONP so while I think it's obvious and I'm sure you'd think that too, it obviously isn't to newcomers. The Response stuff is hidden behind those render methods & such and people don't realize they can simply subclass. If a few examples were in core it would be both helpful for learning and useful on a day to day basis.
As for other formats, well JSON is typically used nowadays, except when you want more fancy XML APIs, but for that the JMSSerializerBundle + FOSRestBundle are superior and we can't achieve such things in a few lines of code. I could also see a BinaryResponse or DownloadResponse or such that has proper "force-download" headers and accepts any binary stream, but that's another debate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by dragoonis at 2012-03-05T19:43:05Z
I'm +1 for the concept but not commenting on how it should be implemented I'll leave that to other people.
Typically when you want to force a download you have to do ``content-disposition: attachment; filename="filehere.pdf"``
Modifying some response headers and the likes automatically for the user by returning a DownloadResponse object would be very handy..
I'm +1 for @Seldaek's point about examples of sub-classing for specific use cases. It will help with demonstrating how to do custom stuff the right way rather than people coming up with their own contraptions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stof at 2012-03-05T20:14:39Z
btw, regarding the BinaryResponse, there is a pending PR about it: #2606
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by simensen at 2012-03-05T21:07:33Z
I'm +1 for providing reference implementations fo custom Response cases. I wanted to find best practices for handling JSONP requests/responses and couldn't find anything at all on the topic. I thought maybe extending Response might be useful but wasn't sure if that could be done safely or should be done at all.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by lsmith77 at 2012-03-05T22:28:01Z
@stof i think @drak was suggesting moving the class, but leaving an empty class extending from the new class in the old location to maintain BC
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stof at 2012-03-05T23:55:36Z
@lsmith77 This would force Symfony to use the BC class so that it does not break all typehints in existing code
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by lsmith77 at 2012-03-06T00:22:15Z
BC hacks are never nice .. the goal would just be to eventually have all those classes and more importantly all new ones in a subnamespace. actually it might be easier to just leave all the classes in the old location and create new ones extending from the old ones. anyway .. personally i am also not such a big fan of these specialized responses .. but i guess i see FOSRestBundle as the alternative answer which makes me biased.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Seldaek at 2012-03-06T07:57:36Z
I'm using FOSRestBundle when it's needed, but when you just have a small scale app that needs one or two json responses for specialized stuff it is slightly overkill. And again, newcomers probably won't know about it, and encouraging using it for simple use cases isn't exactly the best learning curve we can provide.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by COil at 2012-03-06T23:12:15Z
+1 for this. I have implemented such a function in all my sf1 projects, it will be the same for sf2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fabpot at 2012-03-15T13:22:27Z
Closing this PR in favor of a cookbook that explains how a developer can override the default Response class (this JSON class being a good example). see symfony/symfony-docs#1159
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Seldaek at 2012-03-15T13:25:08Z
Meh. Forcing people to copy paste code from the cookbook in every second project isn't exactly a step forward with regard to ease of use and user-friendliness.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Seldaek at 2012-03-15T13:26:48Z
I mean following this logic, things like the X509 authentication should just be put in cookbooks too because almost nobody needs that. We have tons of code in the framework, I don't get the resistance with adding such a simple class which makes code more expressive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fabpot at 2012-03-15T13:53:07Z
because X509 authentication is not easy to get it right. Sending a JSON response is as simple as it can get:
new Response(json_encode($data), 200, array('Content-Type' => 'application/json'));
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by marijn at 2012-03-15T13:54:25Z
Perhaps we need a `Symfony\Extensions\{Component}` namespace for things that don't necessarily belong in the core but are truly useful...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Seldaek at 2012-03-15T14:03:40Z
I still fail to see why it doesn't belong in core.. There are tons of little helpers here and there, a base controller class made only of proxies, and then this gets turned down because it is simple to do it yourself? Sure it is simple, but it's repetitive and boring too. And while it's simple when you know your way around, some people aren't really sure how to do it.
The whole point of a framework is to avoid repetitive bullshit and be more productive. @fabpot do you have any real arguments against? I can see that you don't see a big use to it, fair enough, but do you see any downside at all?
