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;
5
6 2.11 Tue May 10 14:33:28 CEST 2011
7 - the keepalive session cache wouldn't take port and scheme into account
8 when reusing connection - potentially causing information leaks
9 (reported by Nick Kostirya).
10 - bump AnyEvent dependency version (reported by Richard Harris).
11
12 2.1 Thu Feb 24 13:11:51 CET 2011
13 - the keepalive and persistent parameters were actually named
14 differently in the code - they now work as documented.
15 - fix a bug where callbacks would sometimes never be called when
16 the request timeout is near or below the persistent connection
17 timeout (testcase by Cindy Wang).
18 - destroying the guard would have no effect when a request was
19 recursing or being retired.
20
21 2.04 Sat Feb 19 07:45:24 CET 2011
22 - "proxy => undef" now overrides any global proxy when specified.
23 - require scheme in urls, also use a stricter match to match urls,
24 leading or trailing garbage is no longer tolerated.
25 - EXPERIMENTAL: allow '=' in cookie values.
26
27 2.03 Tue Jan 18 18:49:35 CET 2011
28 - dummy reupload, file gone from cpan somehow.
29
30 2.02 Wed Jan 12 04:29:37 CET 2011
31 - do not lowercase cookie names, only parameter names.
32
33 2.01 Tue Jan 11 07:38:15 CET 2011
34 - add missing dependency on common::sense.
35 - add a resume download example.
36
37 2.0 Tue Jan 4 09:16:56 CET 2011
38 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
39 - support HTTP/1.1 persistent and HTTP/1.0 keep-alive connections.
40 - drop https-proxy-connection support. seems unused and ill-specified.
41 - use more differentiated 59x status codes.
42 - properly use url (not proxy) hostname to verify server certificate.
43 - much improved cookie implementation:
44 - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies).
45 - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire.
46 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
47 set-cookie headers.
48 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
49 improve compatibility with broken servers.
50 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
51 they were received - this should not impact valid values.
52 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
53 - support the max-age cookie parameter, overrides expires.
54 - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date.
55 - properly support value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly).
56 - do not send Host: header in a proxy CONNECT request.
57 - use common::sense.
58 - lowercase hostnames and schemes.
59 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
60 - handle spaces in content-length headers more gracefully.
61
62 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
63 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
64 (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
65 - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
66 - add socks4a connect example.
67 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
68 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
69 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
70 - add 205 to the responses without body.
71
72 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
73 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
74 and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
75 analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
76 - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
77 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
78 of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
79 - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
80 - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
81 - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
82 speed penatly :).
83
84 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
85 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
86 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
87 - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
88 - document URL pseudo-header better.
89 - explain how to implement DNS caching.
90
91 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
92 - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
93 as there are even more broken servers out there.
94 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
95 - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
96 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
97
98 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
99 - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
100
101 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
102 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fields by specifying undef
103 (requested by Mr Guest).
104 - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
105 (reported by Mr Guest).
106 - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
107 (requested by Mr Guest).
108
109 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
110 - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
111 (analysed by Robin Redeker).
112
113 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
114 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
115 tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
116 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
117 as EINPROGRESS.
118 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
119 - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
120 the body dowload was successful or not.
121 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
122 when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
123 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
124 no error occured.
125 - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
126 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
127 - include "U" token in User-Agent.
128 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
129 - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
130 hits. microsoft hits. you die).
131
132 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
133 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
134 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
135
136 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
137 - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
138 causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
139
140 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
141 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
142 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
143 provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
144 - document the return values of http_* functions better.
145 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
146 break correctly written users of the old API).
147 - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
148 - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
149 - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
150 - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
151 in the weirdest of places.
152 - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
153 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
154
155 1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
156 - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
157 (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
158
159 1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008
160 - parse reason-less http status responses.
161 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
162
163 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
164 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
165 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
166 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
167 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
168
169 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
170 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
171 - export http_post, http_head.
172
173 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
174 - fixed prototypes for http_* functions
175
176 1.0 Thu Jun 5 20:41:43 CEST 2008
177 - original version, an AnyEvent::AIO clone.
