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 2.12 Tue Jun 14 07:22:54 CEST 2011
7 - fix a possible 'Can't call method "destroyed"' error (which would
8 have been reported by Carl Chambers).
9
10 2.11 Tue May 10 14:33:28 CEST 2011
11 - the keepalive session cache wouldn't take port and scheme into account
12 when reusing connection - potentially causing information leaks
13 (reported by Nick Kostirya).
14 - bump AnyEvent dependency version (reported by Richard Harris).
15
16 2.1 Thu Feb 24 13:11:51 CET 2011
17 - the keepalive and persistent parameters were actually named
18 differently in the code - they now work as documented.
19 - fix a bug where callbacks would sometimes never be called when
20 the request timeout is near or below the persistent connection
21 timeout (testcase by Cindy Wang).
22 - destroying the guard would have no effect when a request was
23 recursing or being retired.
24
25 2.04 Sat Feb 19 07:45:24 CET 2011
26 - "proxy => undef" now overrides any global proxy when specified.
27 - require scheme in urls, also use a stricter match to match urls,
28 leading or trailing garbage is no longer tolerated.
29 - EXPERIMENTAL: allow '=' in cookie values.
30
31 2.03 Tue Jan 18 18:49:35 CET 2011
32 - dummy reupload, file gone from cpan somehow.
33
34 2.02 Wed Jan 12 04:29:37 CET 2011
35 - do not lowercase cookie names, only parameter names.
36
37 2.01 Tue Jan 11 07:38:15 CET 2011
38 - add missing dependency on common::sense.
39 - add a resume download example.
40
41 2.0 Tue Jan 4 09:16:56 CET 2011
42 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
43 - support HTTP/1.1 persistent and HTTP/1.0 keep-alive connections.
44 - drop https-proxy-connection support. seems unused and ill-specified.
45 - use more differentiated 59x status codes.
46 - properly use url (not proxy) hostname to verify server certificate.
47 - much improved cookie implementation:
48 - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies).
49 - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire.
50 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
51 set-cookie headers.
52 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
53 improve compatibility with broken servers.
54 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
55 they were received - this should not impact valid values.
56 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
57 - support the max-age cookie parameter, overrides expires.
58 - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date.
59 - properly support value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly).
60 - do not send Host: header in a proxy CONNECT request.
61 - use common::sense.
62 - lowercase hostnames and schemes.
63 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
64 - handle spaces in content-length headers more gracefully.
65
66 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
67 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
68 (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
69 - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
70 - add socks4a connect example.
71 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
72 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
73 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
74 - add 205 to the responses without body.
75
76 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
77 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
78 and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
79 analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
80 - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
81 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
82 of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
83 - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
84 - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
85 - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
86 speed penatly :).
87
88 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
89 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
90 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
91 - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
92 - document URL pseudo-header better.
93 - explain how to implement DNS caching.
94
95 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
96 - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
97 as there are even more broken servers out there.
98 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
99 - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
100 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
101
102 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
103 - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
104
105 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
106 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fields by specifying undef
107 (requested by Mr Guest).
108 - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
109 (reported by Mr Guest).
110 - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
111 (requested by Mr Guest).
112
113 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
114 - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
115 (analysed by Robin Redeker).
116
117 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
118 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
119 tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
120 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
121 as EINPROGRESS.
122 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
123 - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
124 the body dowload was successful or not.
125 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
126 when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
127 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
128 no error occured.
129 - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
130 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
131 - include "U" token in User-Agent.
132 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
133 - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
134 hits. microsoft hits. you die).
135
136 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
137 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
138 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
139
140 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
141 - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
142 causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
143
144 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
145 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
146 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
147 provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
148 - document the return values of http_* functions better.
149 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
150 break correctly written users of the old API).
151 - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
152 - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
153 - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
154 - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
155 in the weirdest of places.
156 - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
157 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
158
159 1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
160 - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
161 (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
162
163 1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008
164 - parse reason-less http status responses.
165 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
166
167 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
168 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
169 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
170 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
171 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
172
173 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
174 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
175 - export http_post, http_head.
176
177 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
178 - fixed prototypes for http_* functions
179
