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15 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to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