-## Request startup
-
-In versions lower than 2.4.0, the http\Env module extends PHP's builtin POST data parser to be run also if the request method is not POST. Additionally it will handle application/json payloads if ext/json is available. Successfully parsed JSON will be put right into the $_POST array.
-
-This functionality has been separated into two distict extensions, pecl/[apfd](apfd) and pecl/[json_post](json_post).
