Re: [PEAR-DEV] Fwd: proposing a new package, questions about naming ..etc.

Hi,

just a suggestion:
You _could_ let the User inject an Object for the Request Getter/Setter,
then you don't need to create an Instance in the Constructor
and one is not bound to one implementation (a class that uses the curl
extension).
One could inject Services_Solr_Request_Sockets or an Wrapper of
HTTP_Request2 instead of Services_Solr_Request_Curl,
therefore they both need to implement an Interface like
Services_Solr_Request, only.
You could also provide a method like init() or connect() where you
create the default RequestObject it if not given or set.

> should it be called
<Category>_<Name>, therefore Net_Solr or Services_Solr.
The Name "Http" for a Class would not match that naming convention.
Since the Class uses Curl, i would call it
<Category>_Solr_Request_Curl, ie. Services_Solr_Request_Curl.

you can also find a HowTo in the PEAR Docs :
