3 TODO: provide lwp_request function that takes an lwp http requets and returns a http response.
4 TODO: download example
5
6 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
7 - use more differentiated status 59x codes.
8 - much improved cookie implementation:
9 - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies).
10 - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire.
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13 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to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 - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date.
20 - suppoer value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly).
21 - do not send Host: header in a proxy CONNECT request.
22 - use common::sense.
23 - lowercase hostnames and schemes.
24 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
25 - handle spaces in content-length headers more gracefully.
26
27 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
28 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
29 (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
30 - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
31 - add socks4a connect example.
32 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
33 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
34 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
35 - add 205 to the responses without body.
36
37 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
38 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
39 and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
40 analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
41 - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
42 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
43 of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
44 - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
45 - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
46 - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
47 speed penatly :).
48
49 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
50 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
51 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
52 - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
53 - document URL pseudo-header better.
54 - explain how to implement DNS caching.
55
56 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
57 - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
58 as there are even more broken servers out there.
59 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
60 - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
61 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
62
63 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
64 - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
65
66 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
67 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fieds by specifying undef
68 (requested by Mr Guest).
69 - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
70 (reported by Mr Guest).
71 - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
72 (requested by Mr Guest).
73
74 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
75 - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
76 (analysed by Robin Redeker).
77
78 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
79 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
80 tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
81 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
82 as EINPROGRESS.
83 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
84 - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
85 the body dowload was successful or not.
86 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
87 when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
88 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
89 no error occured.
90 - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
91 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
92 - include "U" token in User-Agent.
93 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
94 - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
95 hits. microsoft hits. you die).
96
97 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
98 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
99 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
100
101 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
102 - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
103 causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
104
105 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
106 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
107 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
108 provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
109 - document the return values of http_* functions better.
110 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
111 break correctly written users of the old API).
112 - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
113 - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
114 - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
115 - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
116 in the weirdest of places.
117 - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
118 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
119
120 1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
121 - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
122 (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
123
124 1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008
125 - parse reason-less http status responses.
126 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
127
128 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
129 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
130 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
131 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
132 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
133
134 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
135 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
136 - export http_post, http_head.
137
138 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
139 - fixed prototypes for http_* functions
140
141 1.0 Thu Jun 5 20:41:43 CEST 2008
142 - original version, an AnyEvent::AIO clone.
