3 TODO: provide lwp_request function that takes an lwp http requets and returns a http response.
4
5 2.01 Tue Jan 11 07:38:15 CET 2011
6 - add missing dependency on common::sense.
7 - add a resume download example.
8
9 2.0 Tue Jan 4 09:16:56 CET 2011
10 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
11 - support HTTP/1.1 persistent and HTTP/1.0 keep-alive connections.
12 - drop https-proxy-connection support. seems unused and ill-specified.
13 - use more differentiated 59x status codes.
14 - properly use url (not proxy) hostname to verify server certificate.
15 - much improved cookie implementation:
16 - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies).
17 - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire.
18 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
19 set-cookie headers.
20 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
21 improve compatibility with broken servers.
22 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
23 they were received - this should not impact valid values.
24 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
25 - support the max-age cookie parameter, overrides expires.
26 - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date.
27 - properly support value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly).
28 - do not send Host: header in a proxy CONNECT request.
29 - use common::sense.
30 - lowercase hostnames and schemes.
31 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
32 - handle spaces in content-length headers more gracefully.
33
34 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
35 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
36 (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
37 - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
38 - add socks4a connect example.
39 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
40 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
41 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
42 - add 205 to the responses without body.
43
44 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
45 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
46 and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
47 analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
48 - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
49 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
50 of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
51 - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
52 - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
53 - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
54 speed penatly :).
55
56 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
57 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
58 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
59 - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
60 - document URL pseudo-header better.
61 - explain how to implement DNS caching.
62
63 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
64 - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
65 as there are even more broken servers out there.
66 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
67 - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
68 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
69
70 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
71 - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
72
73 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
74 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fields by specifying undef
75 (requested by Mr Guest).
76 - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
77 (reported by Mr Guest).
78 - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
79 (requested by Mr Guest).
80
81 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
82 - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
83 (analysed by Robin Redeker).
84
85 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
86 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
87 tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
88 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
89 as EINPROGRESS.
90 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
91 - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
92 the body dowload was successful or not.
93 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
94 when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
95 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
96 no error occured.
97 - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
98 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
99 - include "U" token in User-Agent.
100 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
101 - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
102 hits. microsoft hits. you die).
103
104 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
105 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
106 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
107
108 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
109 - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
110 causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
111
112 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
113 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
114 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
115 provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
116 - document the return values of http_* functions better.
117 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
118 break correctly written users of the old API).
119 - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
120 - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
121 - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
122 - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
123 in the weirdest of places.
124 - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
125 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
126
127 1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
128 - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
129 (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
130
131 1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008
132 - parse reason-less http status responses.
133 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
134
135 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
136 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
137 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
138 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
139 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
140
141 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
142 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
143 - export http_post, http_head.
144
145 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
146 - fixed prototypes for http_* functions
147
