1 Revision history for AnyEvent::HTTP
2
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 TODO: set_proxy hook
7 TODO: use proxy hook
8 - garbled chunked responses caused AnyEvent::HTTP to malfunction
9 (patch by Dmitri Melikyan).
10
11 2.12 Tue Jun 14 07:22:54 CEST 2011
12 - fix a possible 'Can't call method "destroyed"' error (which would
13 have been reported by Carl Chambers).
14
15 2.11 Tue May 10 14:33:28 CEST 2011
16 - the keepalive session cache wouldn't take port and scheme into account
17 when reusing connection - potentially causing information leaks
18 (reported by Nick Kostirya).
19 - bump AnyEvent dependency version (reported by Richard Harris).
20
21 2.1 Thu Feb 24 13:11:51 CET 2011
22 - the keepalive and persistent parameters were actually named
23 differently in the code - they now work as documented.
24 - fix a bug where callbacks would sometimes never be called when
25 the request timeout is near or below the persistent connection
26 timeout (testcase by Cindy Wang).
27 - destroying the guard would have no effect when a request was
28 recursing or being retired.
29
30 2.04 Sat Feb 19 07:45:24 CET 2011
31 - "proxy => undef" now overrides any global proxy when specified.
32 - require scheme in urls, also use a stricter match to match urls,
33 leading or trailing garbage is no longer tolerated.
34 - EXPERIMENTAL: allow '=' in cookie values.
35
36 2.03 Tue Jan 18 18:49:35 CET 2011
37 - dummy reupload, file gone from cpan somehow.
38
39 2.02 Wed Jan 12 04:29:37 CET 2011
40 - do not lowercase cookie names, only parameter names.
41
42 2.01 Tue Jan 11 07:38:15 CET 2011
43 - add missing dependency on common::sense.
44 - add a resume download example.
45
46 2.0 Tue Jan 4 09:16:56 CET 2011
47 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
48 - support HTTP/1.1 persistent and HTTP/1.0 keep-alive connections.
49 - drop https-proxy-connection support. seems unused and ill-specified.
50 - use more differentiated 59x status codes.
51 - properly use url (not proxy) hostname to verify server certificate.
52 - much improved cookie implementation:
53 - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies).
54 - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire.
55 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
56 set-cookie headers.
57 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
58 improve compatibility with broken servers.
59 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
60 they were received - this should not impact valid values.
61 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
62 - support the max-age cookie parameter, overrides expires.
63 - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date.
64 - properly support value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly).
65 - do not send Host: header in a proxy CONNECT request.
66 - use common::sense.
67 - lowercase hostnames and schemes.
68 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
69 - handle spaces in content-length headers more gracefully.
70
71 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
72 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
73 (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
74 - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
75 - add socks4a connect example.
76 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
77 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
78 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
79 - add 205 to the responses without body.
80
81 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
82 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
83 and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
84 analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
85 - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
86 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
87 of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
88 - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
89 - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
90 - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
91 speed penatly :).
92
93 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
94 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
95 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
96 - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
97 - document URL pseudo-header better.
98 - explain how to implement DNS caching.
99
100 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
101 - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
102 as there are even more broken servers out there.
103 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
104 - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
105 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
106
107 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
108 - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
109
110 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
111 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fields by specifying undef
112 (requested by Mr Guest).
113 - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
114 (reported by Mr Guest).
115 - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
116 (requested by Mr Guest).
117
118 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
119 - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
120 (analysed by Robin Redeker).
121
122 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
123 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
124 tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
125 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
126 as EINPROGRESS.
127 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
128 - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
129 the body dowload was successful or not.
130 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
131 when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
132 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
133 no error occured.
134 - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
135 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
136 - include "U" token in User-Agent.
137 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
138 - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
139 hits. microsoft hits. you die).
140
141 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
142 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
143 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
144
145 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
146 - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
147 causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
148
149 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
150 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
151 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
152 provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
153 - document the return values of http_* functions better.
154 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
155 break correctly written users of the old API).
156 - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
157 - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
158 - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
159 - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
160 in the weirdest of places.
161 - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
162 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
163
164 1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
165 - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
166 (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
167
168 1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008
169 - parse reason-less http status responses.
170 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
171
172 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
173 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
174 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
175 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
176 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
177
178 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
179 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
180 - export http_post, http_head.
181
182 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
183 - fixed prototypes for http_* functions
184
