`HttpContext` does not exist in `@sentry/nextjs`

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have checked for existing issues https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues
• I have reviewed the documentation https://docs.sentry.io/
• I am using the latest SDK release https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/releases

How do you use Sentry?

Sentry Saas (sentry.io)

Which package are you using?

@sentry/nextjs

SDK Version

7.21.0

Framework Version

Next.js v12.3.0

Link to Sentry event

No response

Steps to Reproduce

By the docs, HttpContext should exist in @sentry/nextjs. This is not true.Http exists in the package.

Expected Result

Expected HttpContext

Actual Result

Either is the implementation erroneous or the docs are wrong.

Extra

I’ve noticed that Http is available in @sentry/node and HttpContext in @sentry/browser. Which one applies to Next.js, since Next.js is a server and client-side framework?

Moreover, the documentation fails to mention what the differences between Http and HttpContext are, since the descriptions are very vague.

I see - maybe avoid “hitting two birds with one stone” and separate @sentry/nextjs into @sentry/nextjs/server & @sentry/nextjs/client to reduce confusion.

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.

But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you label it Status: Backlog or Status: In Progress, I will leave it alone … forever!
