3 TODO: provide lwp_request function that takes an lwp http requets and returns a http response.
4
5 2.03 Tue Jan 18 18:49:35 CET 2011
6 - dummy reupload, file gone from cpan somehow.
7
8 2.02 Wed Jan 12 04:29:37 CET 2011
9 - do not lowercase cookie names, only parameter names.
10
11 2.01 Tue Jan 11 07:38:15 CET 2011
12 - add missing dependency on common::sense.
13 - add a resume download example.
14
15 2.0 Tue Jan 4 09:16:56 CET 2011
16 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
17 - support HTTP/1.1 persistent and HTTP/1.0 keep-alive connections.
18 - drop https-proxy-connection support. seems unused and ill-specified.
19 - use more differentiated 59x status codes.
20 - properly use url (not proxy) hostname to verify server certificate.
21 - much improved cookie implementation:
22 - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies).
23 - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire.
24 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
25 set-cookie headers.
26 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
27 improve compatibility with broken servers.
28 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
29 they were received - this should not impact valid values.
30 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
31 - support the max-age cookie parameter, overrides expires.
32 - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date.
33 - properly support value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly).
34 - do not send Host: header in a proxy CONNECT request.
35 - use common::sense.
36 - lowercase hostnames and schemes.
37 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
38 - handle spaces in content-length headers more gracefully.
39
40 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
41 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
42 (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
43 - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
44 - add socks4a connect example.
45 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
46 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
47 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
48 - add 205 to the responses without body.
49
50 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
51 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
52 and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
53 analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
54 - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
55 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
56 of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
57 - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
58 - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
59 - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
60 speed penatly :).
61
62 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
63 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
64 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
65 - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
66 - document URL pseudo-header better.
67 - explain how to implement DNS caching.
68
69 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
70 - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
71 as there are even more broken servers out there.
72 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
73 - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
74 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
75
76 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
77 - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
78
79 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
80 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fields by specifying undef
81 (requested by Mr Guest).
82 - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
83 (reported by Mr Guest).
84 - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
85 (requested by Mr Guest).
86
87 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
88 - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
89 (analysed by Robin Redeker).
90
91 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
92 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
93 tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
94 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
95 as EINPROGRESS.
96 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
97 - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
98 the body dowload was successful or not.
99 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
100 when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
101 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
102 no error occured.
103 - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
104 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
105 - include "U" token in User-Agent.
106 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
107 - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
108 hits. microsoft hits. you die).
109
110 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
111 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
112 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
113
114 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
115 - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
116 causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
117
118 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
119 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
120 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
121 provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
122 - document the return values of http_* functions better.
123 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
124 break correctly written users of the old API).
125 - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
126 - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
127 - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
128 - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
129 in the weirdest of places.
130 - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
131 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
132
133 1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
134 - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
135 (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
136
137 1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008
138 - parse reason-less http status responses.
139 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
140
141 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
142 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
143 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
144 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
145 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
146
147 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
148 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
149 - export http_post, http_head.
150
151 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
152 - fixed prototypes for http_* functions
153
