3 TODO: provide lwp_request function that takes an lwp http requets and returns a http response.
4
5 TODO: $location = URI->new_abs($location, "$scheme://$host:$port$path_query")->as_string;
6 - require scheme in urls, also use a stricter match to match urls,
7 leading or trailing garbage is no longer tolerated.
8 - EXPERIMENTAL: allow = in cookie values.
9
10 2.03 Tue Jan 18 18:49:35 CET 2011
11 - dummy reupload, file gone from cpan somehow.
12
13 2.02 Wed Jan 12 04:29:37 CET 2011
14 - do not lowercase cookie names, only parameter names.
15
16 2.01 Tue Jan 11 07:38:15 CET 2011
17 - add missing dependency on common::sense.
18 - add a resume download example.
19
20 2.0 Tue Jan 4 09:16:56 CET 2011
21 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
22 - support HTTP/1.1 persistent and HTTP/1.0 keep-alive connections.
23 - drop https-proxy-connection support. seems unused and ill-specified.
24 - use more differentiated 59x status codes.
25 - properly use url (not proxy) hostname to verify server certificate.
26 - much improved cookie implementation:
27 - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies).
28 - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire.
29 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
30 set-cookie headers.
31 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
32 improve compatibility with broken servers.
33 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
34 they were received - this should not impact valid values.
35 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
36 - support the max-age cookie parameter, overrides expires.
37 - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date.
38 - properly support value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly).
39 - do not send Host: header in a proxy CONNECT request.
40 - use common::sense.
41 - lowercase hostnames and schemes.
42 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
43 - handle spaces in content-length headers more gracefully.
44
45 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
46 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
47 (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
48 - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
49 - add socks4a connect example.
50 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
51 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
52 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
53 - add 205 to the responses without body.
54
55 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
56 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
57 and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
58 analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
59 - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
60 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
61 of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
62 - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
63 - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
64 - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
65 speed penatly :).
66
67 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
68 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
69 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
70 - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
71 - document URL pseudo-header better.
72 - explain how to implement DNS caching.
73
74 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
75 - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
76 as there are even more broken servers out there.
77 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
78 - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
79 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
80
81 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
82 - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
83
84 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
85 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fields by specifying undef
86 (requested by Mr Guest).
87 - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
88 (reported by Mr Guest).
89 - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
90 (requested by Mr Guest).
91
92 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
93 - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
94 (analysed by Robin Redeker).
95
96 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
97 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
98 tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
99 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
100 as EINPROGRESS.
101 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
102 - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
103 the body dowload was successful or not.
104 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
105 when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
106 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
107 no error occured.
108 - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
109 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
110 - include "U" token in User-Agent.
111 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
112 - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
113 hits. microsoft hits. you die).
114
115 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
116 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
117 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
118
119 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
120 - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
121 causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
122
123 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
124 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
125 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
126 provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
127 - document the return values of http_* functions better.
128 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
129 break correctly written users of the old API).
130 - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
131 - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
132 - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
133 - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
134 in the weirdest of places.
135 - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
136 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
137
138 1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
139 - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
140 (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
141
142 1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008
143 - parse reason-less http status responses.
144 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
145
146 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
147 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
148 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
149 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
150 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
151
152 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
153 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
154 - export http_post, http_head.
155
156 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
157 - fixed prototypes for http_* functions
158

160 - original version, an AnyEvent::AIO clone.
