3 TODO: provide lwp_request function that takes an lwp http requets and returns a http response.
4 TODO: httpbis: $location = URI->new_abs($location, "$scheme://$host:$port$path_query")->as_string;

6 2.04 Sat Feb 19 07:45:24 CET 2011
7 - "proxy => undef" now overrides any global proxy when specified.
8 - require scheme in urls, also use a stricter match to match urls,
9 leading or trailing garbage is no longer tolerated.
10 - EXPERIMENTAL: allow '=' in cookie values.
11
12 2.03 Tue Jan 18 18:49:35 CET 2011
13 - dummy reupload, file gone from cpan somehow.
14
15 2.02 Wed Jan 12 04:29:37 CET 2011
16 - do not lowercase cookie names, only parameter names.
17
18 2.01 Tue Jan 11 07:38:15 CET 2011
19 - add missing dependency on common::sense.
20 - add a resume download example.
21
22 2.0 Tue Jan 4 09:16:56 CET 2011
23 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
24 - support HTTP/1.1 persistent and HTTP/1.0 keep-alive connections.
25 - drop https-proxy-connection support. seems unused and ill-specified.
26 - use more differentiated 59x status codes.
27 - properly use url (not proxy) hostname to verify server certificate.
28 - much improved cookie implementation:
29 - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies).
30 - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire.
31 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
32 set-cookie headers.
33 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
34 improve compatibility with broken servers.
35 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
36 they were received - this should not impact valid values.
37 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
38 - support the max-age cookie parameter, overrides expires.
39 - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date.
40 - properly support value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly).
41 - do not send Host: header in a proxy CONNECT request.
42 - use common::sense.
43 - lowercase hostnames and schemes.
44 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
45 - handle spaces in content-length headers more gracefully.
46
47 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
48 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
49 (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
50 - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
51 - add socks4a connect example.
52 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
53 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
54 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
55 - add 205 to the responses without body.
56
57 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
58 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
59 and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
60 analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
61 - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
62 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
63 of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
64 - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
65 - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
66 - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
67 speed penatly :).
68
69 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
70 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
71 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
72 - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
73 - document URL pseudo-header better.
74 - explain how to implement DNS caching.
75
76 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
77 - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
78 as there are even more broken servers out there.
79 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
80 - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
81 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
82
83 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
84 - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
85
86 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
87 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fields by specifying undef
88 (requested by Mr Guest).
89 - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
90 (reported by Mr Guest).
91 - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
92 (requested by Mr Guest).
93
94 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
95 - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
96 (analysed by Robin Redeker).
97
98 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
99 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
100 tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
101 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
102 as EINPROGRESS.
103 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
104 - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
105 the body dowload was successful or not.
106 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
107 when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
108 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
109 no error occured.
110 - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
111 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
112 - include "U" token in User-Agent.
113 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
114 - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
115 hits. microsoft hits. you die).
116
117 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
118 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
119 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
120
121 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
122 - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
123 causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
124
125 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
126 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
127 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
128 provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
129 - document the return values of http_* functions better.
130 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
131 break correctly written users of the old API).
132 - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
133 - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
134 - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
135 - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
136 in the weirdest of places.
137 - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
138 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
139
140 1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
141 - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
142 (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
143
144 1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008
145 - parse reason-less http status responses.
146 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
147
148 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
149 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
150 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
151 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
152 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
153
154 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
155 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
156 - export http_post, http_head.
157
158 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
