+# HTTP Clients and zend-feed
+
+Several operations in zend-feed's Reader subcomponent require an HTTP client:
+
+- importing a feed
+- finding links in a feed
+
+In order to allow developers a choice in HTTP clients, the subcomponent defines
+several interfaces and classes. Elsewhere in the documentation, we reference
+where an HTTP client may be used; this document details what constitutes an HTTP
+client and its behavior, and some of the concrete classes available within the
+component for implementing this behavior.
+
+## ClientInterface and HeaderAwareClientInterface
+
+First, we define two interfaces for clients,
+`Zend\Feed\Reader\Http\ClientInterface` and `HeaderAwareClientInterface`:
+
+```php
+namespace Zend\Feed\Reader\Http;
+
+interface ClientInterface
+{
+    /**
+     * Make a GET request to a given URL.
+     *
+     * @param string $url
+     * @return ResponseInterface
+     */
+    public function get($url);
+}
+
+interface HeaderAwareClientInterface extends ClientInterface
+{
+    /**
+     * Make a GET request to a given URL.
+     *
+     * @param string $url
+     * @param array $headers
+     * @return ResponseInterface
+     */
+    public function get($url, array $headers = []);
+}
+```
+
+The first is header-agnostic, and assumes that the client will simply perform an
+HTTP GET request. The second allows providing headers to the client; typically,
+these are used for HTTP caching headers. `$headers` must be in the following
+structure:
+
+```php
+$headers = [
+    'X-Header-Name' => [
+        'header',
+        'values',
+    ],
+];
+```
+
+i.e., each key is a header name, and each value is an array of values for that
+header. If the header represents only a single value, it should be an array with
+that value:
+
+```php
+$headers = [
+    'Accept' => [ 'application/rss+xml' ],
+];
+```
+
+A call to `get()` should yield a *response*.
+
+## ResponseInterface and HeaderAwareResponseInterface
+
+Responses are modeled using `Zend\Feed\Reader\Http\ResponseInterface` and
+`HeaderAwareResponseInterface`:
+
+```php
+namespace Zend\Feed\Reader\Http;
+
+class ResponseInterface
+{
+    /**
+     * Retrieve the status code.
+     *
+     * @return int
+     */
+    public function getStatusCode();
+
+    /**
+     * Retrieve the response body contents.
+     *
+     * @return string
+     */
+    public function getBody();
+}
+
+class HeaderAwareResponseInterface extends ResponseInterface
+{
+    /**
+     * Retrieve a named header line.
+     *
+     * Retrieve a header by name; all values MUST be concatenated to a single
+     * line. If no matching header is found, return the $default value.
+     *
+     * @param string $name
+     * @param null|string $default
+     * @return string
+    public function getHeaderLine($name, $default = null);
+}
+```
+
+Internally, `Reader` will typehint against `ClientInterface` for the bulk of
+operations. In some cases, however, certain capabilities are only possible if
+the response can provide headers (e.g., for caching); in such cases, it will
+check the instance against `HeaderAwareResponseInterface`, and only call
+`getHeaderLine()` if it matches.
+
+## Response
+
+zend-feed ships with a generic `ResponseInterface` implementation,
+`Zend\Feed\Http\Response`. It implements `HeaderAwareResponseInterface`, and
+defines the following constructor:
+
+```php
+namespace Zend\Feed\Reader\Http;
+
+class Response implements HeaderAwareResponseInterface
+{
+    /**
+     * Constructor
+     *
+     * @param int $statusCode Response status code
+     * @param string $body Response body
+     * @param array $headers Response headers, if available
+     */
+    public function __construct($statusCode, $body, array $headers = []);
+}
+```
+
+## PSR-7 Response
+
+[PSR-7](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/) defines a set of HTTP message
+interfaces, but not a client interface. To facilitate wrapping an HTTP client
+that uses PSR-7 messages, we provide `Zend\Feed\Reader\Psr7ResponseDecorator`:
+
+```php
+namespace Zend\Feed\Reader\Http;
+
+use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as PsrResponseInterface;
+
+class Psr7ResponseDecorator implements HeaderAwareResponseInterface
+{
+    /**
+     * @param PsrResponseInterface $response
+     */
+    public function __construct(PsrResponseInterface $response);
+
+    /**
+     * @return PsrResponseInterface
+     */
+    public function getDecoratedResponse();
+}
+```
+
+Clients can then take the PSR-7 response they receive, pass it to the decorator,
+and return the decorator.
+
+To use the PSR-7 response, you will need to add the PSR-7 interfaces to your
+application, if they are not already installed by the client of your choice:
+
+```bash
+$ composer require psr/http-message
+```
+
+## zend-http
+
+We also provide a zend-http client decorator,
+`Zend\Feed\Reader\Http\ZendHttpClientDecorator`:
+
+```php
+namespace Zend\Feed\Reader\Http;
+
+use Zend\Http\Client as HttpClient;
+
+class ZendHttpClientDecorator implements HeaderAwareClientInterface
+{
+    /**
+     * @param HttpClient $client
+     */
+    public function __construct(HttpClient $client);
+
+    /**
+     * @return HttpClient
+     */
+    public function getDecoratedClient();
+}
+```
+
+Its `get()` implementation returns a `Response` instance seeded from the
+zend-http response returned, including status, body, and headers.
+
+zend-http is the default implementation assumed by `Zend\Feed\Reader\Reader`,
+but *is not installed by default*. You may install it using composer:
+
+```bash
+$ composer require zendframework/zend-http
+```
+
+## Providing a client to Reader
+
+By default, `Zend\Feed\Reader\Reader` will lazy load a zend-http client. If you
+have not installed zend-http, however, PHP will raise an error indicating the
+class is not found!
+
+As such, you have two options:
+
+1. Install zend-http: `composer require zendframework/zend-http`.
+2. Inject the `Reader` with your own HTTP client.
+
+To accomplish the second, you will need an implementation of
+`Zend\Feed\Reader\Http\ClientInterface` or `HeaderAwareClientInterface`, and an
+instance of that implementation. Once you do, you can use the static method
+`setHttpClient()` to inject it.
+
+As an example, let's say you've created a PSR-7-based implementation named
+`My\Http\Psr7FeedClient`. You could then do the following:
+
+```php
+use My\Http\Psr7FeedClient;
+use Zend\Feed\Reader\Reader;
+
+Reader::setHttpClient(new Psr7FeedClient());
+```
+
+Your client will then be used for all `import()` and `findFeedLinks()`
+operations.
