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 - use more differentiated status 59x codes.
9 - much improved cookie implementation:
10 - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies).
11 - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire.
12 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
13 set-cookie headers.
14 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
15 improve compatibility with broken servers.
16 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
17 they were received - this should not impact valid values.
18 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
19 - support the max-age cookie parameter, used if expires is missing.
20 - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date.
21 - suppoer value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly).
22 - do not send Host: header in a proxy CONNECT request.
23 - use common::sense.
24 - lowercase hostnames and schemes.
25 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
26 - handle spaces in content-length headers more gracefully.
27
28 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
29 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
30 (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
31 - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
32 - add socks4a connect example.
33 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
34 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
35 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
36 - add 205 to the responses without body.
37
38 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
39 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
40 and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
41 analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
42 - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
43 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
44 of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
45 - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
46 - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
47 - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
48 speed penatly :).
49
50 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
51 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
52 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
53 - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
54 - document URL pseudo-header better.
55 - explain how to implement DNS caching.
56
57 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
58 - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
59 as there are even more broken servers out there.
60 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
61 - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
62 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
63
64 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
65 - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
66
67 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
68 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fieds by specifying undef
69 (requested by Mr Guest).
70 - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
71 (reported by Mr Guest).
72 - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
73 (requested by Mr Guest).
74
75 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
76 - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
77 (analysed by Robin Redeker).
78
79 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
80 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
81 tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
82 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
83 as EINPROGRESS.
84 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
85 - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
86 the body dowload was successful or not.
87 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
88 when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
89 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
90 no error occured.
91 - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
92 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
93 - include "U" token in User-Agent.
94 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
95 - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
96 hits. microsoft hits. you die).
97
98 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
99 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
100 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
101
102 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
103 - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
104 causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
105
106 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
107 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
108 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
109 provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
110 - document the return values of http_* functions better.
111 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
112 break correctly written users of the old API).
113 - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
114 - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
115 - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
116 - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
117 in the weirdest of places.
118 - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
119 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
120
121 1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
122 - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
123 (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
124
125 1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008
126 - parse reason-less http status responses.
127 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
128
129 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
130 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
131 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
132 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
133 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
134
135 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
136 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
137 - export http_post, http_head.
138
139 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
140 - fixed prototypes for http_* functions
141
