I imagine each of the *Exception classes mentioned in the switch cases will extend this RequestException class. I also imagine you would want to disallow instantiation of the RequestException class itself (that is, one of its subclasses must be instantiated instead). If so, consider making the RequestException class abstract.

I agree about the method name, I'll change it to self::prependNamespaceTo.

Adding a default block won't work because the generic exception class has different constructor args - so it needs to be instantiated in a different way. Another option might be:

return isset($class) ? new $class($message, $request, $response) : Exception($message);

I see what you mean about making the RequestException abstract - but I'm not sure we'll need to do it. Say for example we encounter a HTTP 4xx or 5xx error that does not have its own concrete exception, we'd probably throw a generic RequestException.

In that case, what about creating a default case that returns new self($message, $request, $response);?
