Version 2.4.0 breaks pear/xml_rpc2 1.1.4

[aguvillalba]

New version 2.4.0 is incompatible with pear/xml_rpc2 1.1.4:
PHP Warning: Uncaught ErrorException: require_once(HTTP/Request2.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/vagrant/vendor/pear/xml_rpc2/XML/RPC2/Util/HTTPRequest.php:45

Any hint to solve this? Thank you!

Any hint to solve this?

Basically, just remove require_once 'HTTP/Request2.php' statement from the above file.

The longer answer is that I removed include-path setting from composer.json of release 2.4.0, so packages that depend on HTTP_Request2 can no longer rely on the fact that such statements work. They should only do this as a fallback if the class was not autoloaded, e.g.

if (!class_exists('HTTP_Request2', true)) {
    require_once 'HTTP/Request2.php';
}

the code above will trigger autoloading when run from composer installation and fall back to explicit require in PEAR installation.

Please open an issue for xml_rpc2 linking to this one
