# User Rev Content
1 root 1.2 Revision history for AnyEvent::HTTP
2 root 1.1
3 root 1.18 TODO: provide lwp_request function that takes an lwp http requets and returns a http response.
4 root 1.30 TODO: http://efl20.com/wp-register.php refresh-header, instead of location
5 root 1.45 TODO: download example
6 root 1.46
7 root 1.48 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
8     - much improved cookie implementation:
9     - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
10     set-cookie headers.
11 root 1.49 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
12     improve compatibility with broken servers.
13 root 1.50 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
14     they were received - this should not impact valid values.
15 root 1.48 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
16     - support the max-age cookie parameter, used if expires is missing.
17     - properly implement cookie expiry.
18     - support cookie dates in parse_date.
19 root 1.47
20 root 1.46 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
21 root 1.45 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
22     (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
23     - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
24 root 1.41 - add socks4a connect example.
25 root 1.40 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
26 root 1.42 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
27 root 1.45 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
28     - add 205 to the responses without body.
29 root 1.37
30 root 1.39 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
31 root 1.38 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
32     and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
33     analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
34     - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
35 root 1.39 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
36     of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
37     - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
38     - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
39     - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
40     speed penatly :).
41 root 1.38
42 root 1.37 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
43 root 1.38 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
44 root 1.37 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
45     - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
46     - document URL pseudo-header better.
47     - explain how to implement DNS caching.
48 root 1.30
49 root 1.35 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
50     - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
51     as there are even more broken servers out there.
52 root 1.34 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
53     - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
54 root 1.35 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
55 root 1.34
56 root 1.33 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
57     - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
58    
59 root 1.31 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
60 root 1.30 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fieds by specifying undef
61     (requested by Mr Guest).
62     - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
63     (reported by Mr Guest).
64     - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
65     (requested by Mr Guest).
66    
67 root 1.29 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
68     - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
69     (analysed by Robin Redeker).
70    
71 root 1.28 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
72 root 1.25 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
73     tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
74 root 1.28 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
75     as EINPROGRESS.
76 root 1.26 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
77     - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
78     the body dowload was successful or not.
79 root 1.27 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
80     when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
81 root 1.26 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
82     no error occured.
83     - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
84 root 1.25 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
85     - include "U" token in User-Agent.
86 root 1.27 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
87     - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
88     hits. microsoft hits. you die).
89 root 1.25
90 root 1.24 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
91 root 1.23 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
92     Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
93    
94 root 1.22 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
95     - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
96     causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
97    
98 root 1.21 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
99 root 1.18 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
100 root 1.17 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
101     provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
102     - document the return values of http_* functions better.
103 root 1.19 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
104     break correctly written users of the old API).
105     - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
106     - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
107     - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
108     - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
109     in the weirdest of places.
110     - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
111 root 1.20 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.

114     - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains

118 root 1.14 - parse reason-less http status responses.
119     - parse more forms of broken location headers.
120    
121 root 1.13 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
122 root 1.10 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
123 root 1.13 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
124     change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
125     - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
126 root 1.10
127 root 1.9 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
