30     when reusing proxy connections (analyzed and testcase by Ivan Robert).

46     on internally (reported by Антон Онуфриев and Ruslan Zakirov).
47    
48 root 1.88 2.23 Sun Aug 28 11:30:33 CEST 2016
49     - relative redirects used the proxy schema instead of the request
50     url schema to generate the new url, which is wrong (analyzed by Felix
51     Ostmann).

53    
54 root 1.86 2.22 Thu May 14 04:04:03 CEST 2015

65     - correctly keep body when redirecting POSTs, instead of
66     deleting them.
67    
68 root 1.80 2.2 Mon Jun 9 01:31:46 CEST 2014
69 root 1.79 - connection header was malformed (patch by Raphael Geissert).
70 root 1.77 - add lots of known idempotent methods from httpbis.

74 root 1.77
75 root 1.76 2.15 Wed Nov 14 23:22:07 CET 2012
76     - use the recurse parameter to also limit the number of retries to be
77     done, avodiing endless loops with broken servers, as reported

92    
93 root 1.71 2.11 Tue May 10 14:33:28 CEST 2011
94     - the keepalive session cache wouldn't take port and scheme into account
95     when reusing connection - potentially causing information leaks
96     (reported by Nick Kostirya).
97     - bump AnyEvent dependency version (reported by Richard Harris).
98    
99 root 1.69 2.1 Thu Feb 24 13:11:51 CET 2011
100     - the keepalive and persistent parameters were actually named
101     differently in the code - they now work as documented.

103 root 1.70 the request timeout is near or below the persistent connection
104 root 1.69 timeout (testcase by Cindy Wang).
105     - destroying the guard would have no effect when a request was
106     recursing or being retired.
107    
108 root 1.68 2.04 Sat Feb 19 07:45:24 CET 2011
109     - "proxy => undef" now overrides any global proxy when specified.

126 root 1.59 - support HTTP/1.1 persistent and HTTP/1.0 keep-alive connections.
127     - drop https-proxy-connection support. seems unused and ill-specified.
128 root 1.60 - use more differentiated 59x status codes.
129     - properly use url (not proxy) hostname to verify server certificate.
130 root 1.48 - much improved cookie implementation:
131 root 1.53 - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies).
132     - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire.
133 root 1.48 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
134     set-cookie headers.
135 root 1.49 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
136     improve compatibility with broken servers.
137 root 1.50 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
138     they were received - this should not impact valid values.
139 root 1.48 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.

141 root 1.53 - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date.

151     (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
152     - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
153 root 1.41 - add socks4a connect example.

160 root 1.38 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
161     and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
162     analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
163     - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
164 root 1.39 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
165     of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
166     - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
167     - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
168     - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
169     speed penatly :).

178 root 1.35 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
179     - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
180     as there are even more broken servers out there.
181 root 1.34 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
182     - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
183 root 1.35 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).

190 root 1.30 (requested by Mr Guest).
191     - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
192     (reported by Mr Guest).

199    
200 root 1.28 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
201 root 1.25 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
202     tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
203 root 1.28 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
204     as EINPROGRESS.
205 root 1.26 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
206     - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
207     the body dowload was successful or not.
208 root 1.27 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
209     when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
210 root 1.26 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
211     no error occured.

224     - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
225     causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
226    
227 root 1.21 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
228 root 1.18 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
229 root 1.17 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
230     provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
231     - document the return values of http_* functions better.
232 root 1.19 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
233     break correctly written users of the old API).
234     - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
235     - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
236     - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.

249    
250 root 1.13 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
251 root 1.10 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
252 root 1.13 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
253     change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
