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
6
7 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
8 - use more differentiated status 59x codes.
9 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
10 - much improved cookie implementation:
11 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
12 set-cookie headers.
13 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
14 improve compatibility with broken servers.
15 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
16 they were received - this should not impact valid values.
17 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
18 - support the max-age cookie parameter, used if expires is missing.
19 - properly implement cookie expiry.
20 - support cookie dates in parse_date.

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