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 TODO: set_proxy hook
6 TODO: use proxy hook
7
8 2.13 Wed Jul 27 17:53:58 CEST 2011
9 - garbled chunked responses caused AnyEvent::HTTP to malfunction
10 (patch by Dmitri Melikyan).
11 - fix GET => HEAD in one case in the documentation (James Bromberger).
12
13 2.12 Tue Jun 14 07:22:54 CEST 2011
14 - fix a possible 'Can't call method "destroyed"' error (which would
15 have been reported by Carl Chambers).
16
17 2.11 Tue May 10 14:33:28 CEST 2011
18 - the keepalive session cache wouldn't take port and scheme into account
19 when reusing connection - potentially causing information leaks
20 (reported by Nick Kostirya).
21 - bump AnyEvent dependency version (reported by Richard Harris).
22
23 2.1 Thu Feb 24 13:11:51 CET 2011
24 - the keepalive and persistent parameters were actually named
25 differently in the code - they now work as documented.
26 - fix a bug where callbacks would sometimes never be called when
27 the request timeout is near or below the persistent connection
28 timeout (testcase by Cindy Wang).
29 - destroying the guard would have no effect when a request was
30 recursing or being retired.
31
32 2.04 Sat Feb 19 07:45:24 CET 2011
33 - "proxy => undef" now overrides any global proxy when specified.
34 - require scheme in urls, also use a stricter match to match urls,
35 leading or trailing garbage is no longer tolerated.
36 - EXPERIMENTAL: allow '=' in cookie values.
37
38 2.03 Tue Jan 18 18:49:35 CET 2011
39 - dummy reupload, file gone from cpan somehow.
40
41 2.02 Wed Jan 12 04:29:37 CET 2011
42 - do not lowercase cookie names, only parameter names.
43
44 2.01 Tue Jan 11 07:38:15 CET 2011
45 - add missing dependency on common::sense.
46 - add a resume download example.
47
48 2.0 Tue Jan 4 09:16:56 CET 2011
49 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
50 - support HTTP/1.1 persistent and HTTP/1.0 keep-alive connections.
51 - drop https-proxy-connection support. seems unused and ill-specified.
52 - use more differentiated 59x status codes.
53 - properly use url (not proxy) hostname to verify server certificate.
54 - much improved cookie implementation:
55 - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies).
56 - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire.
57 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
58 set-cookie headers.
59 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
60 improve compatibility with broken servers.
61 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
62 they were received - this should not impact valid values.
63 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
64 - support the max-age cookie parameter, overrides expires.
65 - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date.
66 - properly support value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly).
67 - do not send Host: header in a proxy CONNECT request.
68 - use common::sense.
69 - lowercase hostnames and schemes.
70 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
71 - handle spaces in content-length headers more gracefully.
72
73 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
74 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
75 (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
76 - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
77 - add socks4a connect example.
78 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
79 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
80 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
81 - add 205 to the responses without body.
82
83 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
84 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
85 and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
86 analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
87 - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
88 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
89 of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
90 - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
91 - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
92 - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
93 speed penatly :).
94
95 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
96 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
97 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
98 - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
99 - document URL pseudo-header better.
100 - explain how to implement DNS caching.
101
102 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
103 - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
104 as there are even more broken servers out there.
105 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
106 - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
107 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
108
109 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
110 - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
111
112 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
113 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fields by specifying undef
114 (requested by Mr Guest).
115 - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
116 (reported by Mr Guest).
117 - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
118 (requested by Mr Guest).
119
120 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
121 - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
122 (analysed by Robin Redeker).
123
124 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
125 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
126 tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
127 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
128 as EINPROGRESS.
129 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
130 - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
131 the body dowload was successful or not.
132 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
133 when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
134 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
135 no error occured.
136 - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
137 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
138 - include "U" token in User-Agent.
139 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
140 - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
141 hits. microsoft hits. you die).
142
143 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
144 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
145 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
146
147 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
148 - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
149 causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
150
151 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
152 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
153 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
154 provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
155 - document the return values of http_* functions better.
156 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
157 break correctly written users of the old API).
158 - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
159 - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
160 - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
161 - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
162 in the weirdest of places.
163 - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
164 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
165
166 1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
167 - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
168 (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
169
170 1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008
171 - parse reason-less http status responses.
172 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
173
174 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
175 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
176 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
177 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
178 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
179
180 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
181 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
182 - export http_post, http_head.
183
184 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
185 - fixed prototypes for http_* functions
186
