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 2.14 Sun Apr 22 14:57:51 CEST 2012
9 - Time::Local::timegm croaks on out-of-range values. Don't let
10 this disturb AnyEvent::HTTP (reported by: tell me, I forgot...).
11
12 2.13 Wed Jul 27 17:53:58 CEST 2011
13 - garbled chunked responses caused AnyEvent::HTTP to malfunction
14 (patch by Dmitri Melikyan).
15 - fix GET => HEAD in one case in the documentation (James Bromberger).
16
17 2.12 Tue Jun 14 07:22:54 CEST 2011
18 - fix a possible 'Can't call method "destroyed"' error (which would
19 have been reported by Carl Chambers).
20
21 2.11 Tue May 10 14:33:28 CEST 2011
22 - the keepalive session cache wouldn't take port and scheme into account
23 when reusing connection - potentially causing information leaks
24 (reported by Nick Kostirya).
25 - bump AnyEvent dependency version (reported by Richard Harris).
26
27 2.1 Thu Feb 24 13:11:51 CET 2011
28 - the keepalive and persistent parameters were actually named
29 differently in the code - they now work as documented.
30 - fix a bug where callbacks would sometimes never be called when
31 the request timeout is near or below the persistent connection
32 timeout (testcase by Cindy Wang).
33 - destroying the guard would have no effect when a request was
34 recursing or being retired.
35
36 2.04 Sat Feb 19 07:45:24 CET 2011
37 - "proxy => undef" now overrides any global proxy when specified.
38 - require scheme in urls, also use a stricter match to match urls,
39 leading or trailing garbage is no longer tolerated.
40 - EXPERIMENTAL: allow '=' in cookie values.
41
42 2.03 Tue Jan 18 18:49:35 CET 2011
43 - dummy reupload, file gone from cpan somehow.
44
45 2.02 Wed Jan 12 04:29:37 CET 2011
46 - do not lowercase cookie names, only parameter names.
47
48 2.01 Tue Jan 11 07:38:15 CET 2011
49 - add missing dependency on common::sense.
50 - add a resume download example.
51
52 2.0 Tue Jan 4 09:16:56 CET 2011
53 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
54 - support HTTP/1.1 persistent and HTTP/1.0 keep-alive connections.
55 - drop https-proxy-connection support. seems unused and ill-specified.
56 - use more differentiated 59x status codes.
57 - properly use url (not proxy) hostname to verify server certificate.
58 - much improved cookie implementation:
59 - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies).
60 - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire.
61 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
62 set-cookie headers.
63 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
64 improve compatibility with broken servers.
65 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
66 they were received - this should not impact valid values.
67 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
68 - support the max-age cookie parameter, overrides expires.
69 - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date.
70 - properly support value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly).
71 - do not send Host: header in a proxy CONNECT request.
72 - use common::sense.
73 - lowercase hostnames and schemes.
74 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
75 - handle spaces in content-length headers more gracefully.
76
77 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
78 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
79 (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
80 - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
81 - add socks4a connect example.
82 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
83 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
84 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
85 - add 205 to the responses without body.
86
87 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
88 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
89 and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
90 analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
91 - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
92 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
93 of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
94 - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
95 - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
96 - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
97 speed penatly :).
98
99 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
100 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
101 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
102 - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
103 - document URL pseudo-header better.
104 - explain how to implement DNS caching.
105
106 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
107 - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
108 as there are even more broken servers out there.
109 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
110 - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
111 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
112
113 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
114 - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
115
116 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
117 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fields by specifying undef
118 (requested by Mr Guest).
119 - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
120 (reported by Mr Guest).
121 - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
122 (requested by Mr Guest).
123
124 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
125 - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
126 (analysed by Robin Redeker).
127
128 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
129 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
130 tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
131 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
132 as EINPROGRESS.
133 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
134 - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
135 the body dowload was successful or not.
136 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
137 when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
138 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
139 no error occured.
140 - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
141 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
142 - include "U" token in User-Agent.
143 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
144 - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
145 hits. microsoft hits. you die).
146
147 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
148 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
149 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
150
151 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
152 - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
153 causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
154
155 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
156 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
157 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
158 provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
159 - document the return values of http_* functions better.
160 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
161 break correctly written users of the old API).
162 - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
163 - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
164 - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
165 - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
166 in the weirdest of places.
167 - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
168 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
169
170 1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
171 - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
172 (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
173
174 1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008
175 - parse reason-less http status responses.
176 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
177
178 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
179 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
180 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
181 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
182 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
183
184 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
185 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
186 - export http_post, http_head.
187
188 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
189 - fixed prototypes for http_* functions
190
191 1.0 Thu Jun 5 20:41:43 CEST 2008
192 - original version, an AnyEvent::AIO clone.
