3 TODO: provide lwp_request function that takes an lwp http requets and returns a http response.
4 TODO: http://efl20.com/wp-register.php refresh-header, instead of location
5 TODO: download example

7 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
8 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
9 - much improved cookie implementation:
10 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
11 set-cookie headers.
12 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
13 improve compatibility with broken servers.
14 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
15 they were received - this should not impact valid values.
16 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
17 - support the max-age cookie parameter, used if expires is missing.
18 - properly implement cookie expiry.
19 - support cookie dates in parse_date.

21 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
22 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
23 (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
24 - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
25 - add socks4a connect example.
26 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
27 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
28 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
29 - add 205 to the responses without body.
30
31 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
32 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
33 and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
34 analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
35 - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
36 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
37 of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
38 - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
39 - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
40 - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
41 speed penatly :).
42
43 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
44 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
45 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
46 - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
47 - document URL pseudo-header better.
48 - explain how to implement DNS caching.
49
50 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
51 - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
52 as there are even more broken servers out there.
53 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
54 - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
55 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
56
57 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
58 - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
59
60 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
61 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fieds by specifying undef
62 (requested by Mr Guest).
63 - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
64 (reported by Mr Guest).
65 - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
66 (requested by Mr Guest).
67
68 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
69 - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
70 (analysed by Robin Redeker).
71
72 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
73 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
74 tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
75 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
76 as EINPROGRESS.
77 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
78 - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
79 the body dowload was successful or not.
80 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
81 when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
82 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
83 no error occured.
84 - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
85 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
86 - include "U" token in User-Agent.
87 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
88 - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
89 hits. microsoft hits. you die).
90
91 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
92 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
93 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
94
95 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
96 - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
97 causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
98
99 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
100 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
101 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
102 provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
103 - document the return values of http_* functions better.
104 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
105 break correctly written users of the old API).
106 - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
107 - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
108 - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
109 - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
110 in the weirdest of places.
111 - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
112 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
113
114 1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
115 - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
116 (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
117
118 1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008
119 - parse reason-less http status responses.
120 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
121
122 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
123 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
124 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
125 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
126 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
127
128 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
129 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
130 - export http_post, http_head.
131
132 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
133 - fixed prototypes for http_* functions
134
135 1.0 Thu Jun 5 20:41:43 CEST 2008
136 - original version, an AnyEvent::AIO clone.
