use more differentiated 59x status codes. + - properly use url (not proxy) hostname to verify server certificate. + - much improved cookie implementation: + - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies). + - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire. + - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in + set-cookie headers. + - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to + improve compatibility with broken servers. + - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as + they were received - this should not impact valid values. + - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility. + - support the max-age cookie parameter, overrides expires. + - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date. + - properly support value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly). + - do not send Host: header in a proxy CONNECT request. + - use common::sense. + -
