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 |
- use more differentiated status 59x codes. |
| 9 |
- ignore leading zeroes in http version. |
| 10 |
- handle spaces in content-length headers more gracefully. |
| 11 |
- use common::sense. |
| 12 |
- much improved cookie implementation: |
| 13 |
- properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies). |
| 14 |
- new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire. |
| 15 |
- add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in |
| 16 |
set-cookie headers. |
| 17 |
- do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to |
| 18 |
improve compatibility with broken servers. |
| 19 |
- accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as |
| 20 |
they were received - this should not impact valid values. |
| 21 |
- lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility. |
| 22 |
- support the max-age cookie parameter, used if expires is missing. |
| 23 |
- support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date. |
| 24 |
- suppoer value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly). |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010 |
| 27 |
- bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong |
| 28 |
(server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback. |
| 29 |
- when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason. |
| 30 |
- add socks4a connect example. |
| 31 |
- new "tcp_connect" parameter. |
| 32 |
- new format_date and parse_date functions. |
| 33 |
- diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known. |
| 34 |
- add 205 to the responses without body. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010 |
| 37 |
- some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts |
| 38 |
and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem |
| 39 |
analyzed by Sergey Zasenko). |
| 40 |
- possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error |
| 41 |
callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case |
| 42 |
of user errors, such as nehative timeouts). |
| 43 |
- we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET. |
| 44 |
- we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST. |
| 45 |
- header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative |
| 46 |
speed penatly :). |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010 |
| 49 |
- fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful |
| 50 |
connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin). |
| 51 |
- due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header. |
| 52 |
- document URL pseudo-header better. |
| 53 |
- explain how to implement DNS caching. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009 |
| 56 |
- do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty), |
| 57 |
as there are even more broken servers out there. |
| 58 |
- allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again. |
| 59 |
- set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls. |
| 60 |
- support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa). |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009 |
| 63 |
- provide on_prepare callback on common request. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009 |
| 66 |
- allow suppression of auto-supplied header fieds by specifying undef |
| 67 |
(requested by Mr Guest). |
| 68 |
- allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented |
| 69 |
(reported by Mr Guest). |
| 70 |
- do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header |
| 71 |
(requested by Mr Guest). |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009 |
| 74 |
- correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling). |
| 75 |
(analysed by Robin Redeker). |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009 |
| 78 |
- http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on |
| 79 |
tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks. |
| 80 |
- fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported |
| 81 |
as EINPROGRESS. |
| 82 |
- new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle. |
| 83 |
- redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not |
| 84 |
the body dowload was successful or not. |
| 85 |
- include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break |
| 86 |
when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...). |
| 87 |
- pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but |
| 88 |
no error occured. |
| 89 |
- allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles. |
| 90 |
- ucfirst all error messages generated internally. |
| 91 |
- include "U" token in User-Agent. |
| 92 |
- document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST. |
| 93 |
- allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft |
| 94 |
hits. microsoft hits. you die). |
| 95 |
|
| 96 |
1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009 |
| 97 |
- $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by |
| 98 |
Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann). |
| 99 |
|
| 100 |
1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008 |
| 101 |
- work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments, |
| 102 |
causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов). |
| 103 |
|
| 104 |
1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008 |
| 105 |
- work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode. |
| 106 |
- cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were |
| 107 |
provided by Дмитрий Шалашов. |
| 108 |
- document the return values of http_* functions better. |
| 109 |
- separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not |
| 110 |
break correctly written users of the old API). |
| 111 |
- improve Set-Cookie: parsing. |
| 112 |
- add experimental https-over-http-proxy support. |
| 113 |
- downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http. |
| 114 |
- ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up |
| 115 |
in the weirdest of places. |
| 116 |
- ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look. |
| 117 |
- work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr. |
| 118 |
|
| 119 |
1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008 |
| 120 |
- fix a regex when parsing cookie domains |
| 121 |
(patch by Дмитрий Шалашов). |
| 122 |
|
| 123 |
1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008 |
| 124 |
- parse reason-less http status responses. |
| 125 |
- parse more forms of broken location headers. |
| 126 |
|
| 127 |
1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008 |
| 128 |
- fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo). |
| 129 |
- do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might |
| 130 |
change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else). |
| 131 |
- implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects. |
| 132 |
|
| 133 |
1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008 |
| 134 |
