hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1. + - much improved cookie implementation: + - 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 + - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to + improve compatibility with broken servers.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, used if expires is missing. + - properly implement cookie expiry. + - support cookie dates in parse_date. + +1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010 + - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong + (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback. + - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason. + - add socks4a connect example. + - new "tcp_connect" parameter. + - new format_date and parse_date functions. + - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known. + - add 205 to the responses without body. + +1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010 + - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts + and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem + analyzed by Sergey Zasenko). + - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error + callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case + of user errors, such as nehative timeouts). + - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET. + - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST. + - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative + speed penatly :). + +1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010 + - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful + connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin). + - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header. + - document URL pseudo-header better. + - explain how to implement DNS caching. + +1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009 + - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty), + as there are even more broken servers out there. + - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again. + - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls. + - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa). + +1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009 + - provide on_prepare callback on common request. + +1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009 + - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fieds by specifying undef + (requested by Mr Guest). + - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented + (reported by Mr Guest). + - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header + (requested by Mr Guest). + +1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009 + - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling). + (analysed by Robin Redeker). + +1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009 + - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on + tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks. + - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported + as EINPROGRESS. + - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle. + - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not + the body dowload was successful or not. + - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break + when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...). + - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but + no error occured. + - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles. + - ucfirst all error messages generated internally. + - include "U" token in User-Agent. + - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST. + - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft + hits. microsoft hits. you die). + +1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009 + - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by + Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann). + +1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008 + - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments, + causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов). + +1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008 + - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode. + - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were + provided by Дмитрий Шалашов. + - document the return values of http_* functions better. + - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not + break correctly written users of the old API). + - improve Set-Cookie: parsing. + - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support. + - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http. + - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up + in the weirdest of places. + - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look. + - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr. + +1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008 + - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains + (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов). + +1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008 + - parse reason-less http status responses. + - parse more forms of broken location headers. + +1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008 + - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo). + - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might + change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else). + - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects. + +1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008 + - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request. + - export http_post, http_head. + +1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008 + -
