3 TODO: provide lwp_request function that takes an lwp http requets and returns a http response.
4
5 - require scheme in urls, also use a stricter match to match urls,
6 leading or trailing garbage is no longer tolerated.
7
8 2.03 Tue Jan 18 18:49:35 CET 2011
9 - dummy reupload, file gone from cpan somehow.
10
11 2.02 Wed Jan 12 04:29:37 CET 2011
12 - do not lowercase cookie names, only parameter names.
13
14 2.01 Tue Jan 11 07:38:15 CET 2011
15 - add missing dependency on common::sense.
16 - add a resume download example.
17
18 2.0 Tue Jan 4 09:16:56 CET 2011
19 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
20 - support HTTP/1.1 persistent and HTTP/1.0 keep-alive connections.
21 - drop https-proxy-connection support. seems unused and ill-specified.
22 - use more differentiated 59x status codes.
23 - properly use url (not proxy) hostname to verify server certificate.
24 - much improved cookie implementation:
25 - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies).
26 - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire.
27 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
28 set-cookie headers.
29 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
30 improve compatibility with broken servers.
31 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
32 they were received - this should not impact valid values.
33 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
34 - support the max-age cookie parameter, overrides expires.
35 - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date.
36 - properly support value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly).
37 - do not send Host: header in a proxy CONNECT request.
38 - use common::sense.
39 - lowercase hostnames and schemes.
40 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
41 - handle spaces in content-length headers more gracefully.
42
43 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
44 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
45 (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
46 - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
47 - add socks4a connect example.
48 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
49 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
50 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
51 - add 205 to the responses without body.
52
53 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
54 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
55 and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
56 analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
57 - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
58 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
59 of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
60 - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
61 - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
62 - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
63 speed penatly :).
64
65 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
66 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
67 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
68 - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
69 - document URL pseudo-header better.
70 - explain how to implement DNS caching.
71
72 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
73 - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
74 as there are even more broken servers out there.
75 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
76 - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
77 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
78
79 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
80 - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
81
82 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
83 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fields by specifying undef
84 (requested by Mr Guest).
85 - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
86 (reported by Mr Guest).
87 - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
88 (requested by Mr Guest).
89
90 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
91 - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
92 (analysed by Robin Redeker).
93
94 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
95 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
96 tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
97 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
98 as EINPROGRESS.
99 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
100 - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
101 the body dowload was successful or not.
102 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
103 when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
104 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
105 no error occured.
106 - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
107 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
108 - include "U" token in User-Agent.
109 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
110 - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
111 hits. microsoft hits. you die).
112
113 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
114 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
115 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
116
117 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
118 - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
119 causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
120
121 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
122 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
123 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
124 provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
125 - document the return values of http_* functions better.
126 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
127 break correctly written users of the old API).
128 - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
129 - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
130 - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
131 - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
132 in the weirdest of places.
133 - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
134 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
135
136 1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
137 - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
138 (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
139
140 1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008
141 - parse reason-less http status responses.
142 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
143
144 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
145 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
146 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
147 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
148 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
149
150 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
151 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
152 - export http_post, http_head.
153
154 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
155 - fixed prototypes for http_* functions
156
