Re: what is the difference among them?

The documentation says:
- THttpServerRequestAbstract = abstract generic input/output structure used for HTTP server requests
- THttpServerRequest = generic input/output structure used for HTTP server requests
- TSQLRestServerURIContext = mORMot 1 backward compatibility types redirections of the next:
- TRestServerUriContext = calling context for a TOnRestServerCallBack event handler

You have several layers,
- one pure HTTP which starts with THttpServer*
- one at REST level, maybe without HTTP, which starts with TRestServer*

In mORMot, we make a distinction between REST and HTTP.
Because both are not the same, and in mORMot REST client-server logic may work without HTTP, e.g. in-process or over WebSockets or Unix sockets.

All this is explained in the mORMot 1 documentation.
Which is the reference for concepts and guidance.
