15
16 2.23 Sun Aug 28 11:30:33 CEST 2016
17 - relative redirects used the proxy schema instead of the request
18 url schema to generate the new url, which is wrong (analyzed by Felix
19 Ostmann).
20 - fix download example (reported by Felix Ostmann).
21
22 2.22 Thu May 14 04:04:03 CEST 2015
23 - ipv6 literals were not correctly parsed (analyzed by Raphael Geissert).
24 - delete the body when mutating request to GET request when
25 redirecting (reported by joe trader).
26 - send proxy-authorization header to proxy when using CONNECT
27 (reported by dzagashev@gmail.com).
28 - do not send Proxy-Authroization header when not using a proxy.
29 - when retrying a persistent request, switch persistency off.
30 - added t/02_ip_literals.t.
31
32 2.21 Mon Jun 9 01:35:54 CEST 2014
33 - correctly keep body when redirecting POSTs, instead of
34 deleting them.
35
36 2.2 Mon Jun 9 01:31:46 CEST 2014
37 - connection header was malformed (patch by Raphael Geissert).
38 - add lots of known idempotent methods from httpbis.
39 - implement relative location headers (rfc 7231), with fallback on URI.
40 - add support for status code 308 from rfc 7238.
41 - recommend URI.
42
43 2.15 Wed Nov 14 23:22:07 CET 2012
44 - use the recurse parameter to also limit the number of retries to be
45 done, avodiing endless loops with broken servers, as reported
46 by Carl Chambers.
47
48 2.14 Sun Apr 22 14:57:51 CEST 2012
49 - Time::Local::timegm croaks on out-of-range values. Don't let
50 this disturb AnyEvent::HTTP (reported by: tell me, I forgot...).
51
52 2.13 Wed Jul 27 17:53:58 CEST 2011
53 - garbled chunked responses caused AnyEvent::HTTP to malfunction
54 (patch by Dmitri Melikyan).
55 - fix GET => HEAD in one case in the documentation (James Bromberger).
56
57 2.12 Tue Jun 14 07:22:54 CEST 2011
58 - fix a possible 'Can't call method "destroyed"' error (which would
59 have been reported by Carl Chambers).
60
61 2.11 Tue May 10 14:33:28 CEST 2011
62 - the keepalive session cache wouldn't take port and scheme into account
63 when reusing connection - potentially causing information leaks
64 (reported by Nick Kostirya).
65 - bump AnyEvent dependency version (reported by Richard Harris).
66
67 2.1 Thu Feb 24 13:11:51 CET 2011
68 - the keepalive and persistent parameters were actually named
69 differently in the code - they now work as documented.
70 - fix a bug where callbacks would sometimes never be called when
71 the request timeout is near or below the persistent connection
72 timeout (testcase by Cindy Wang).
73 - destroying the guard would have no effect when a request was
74 recursing or being retired.
75
76 2.04 Sat Feb 19 07:45:24 CET 2011
77 - "proxy => undef" now overrides any global proxy when specified.
78 - require scheme in urls, also use a stricter match to match urls,
79 leading or trailing garbage is no longer tolerated.
80 - EXPERIMENTAL: allow '=' in cookie values.
81
82 2.03 Tue Jan 18 18:49:35 CET 2011
83 - dummy reupload, file gone from cpan somehow.
84
85 2.02 Wed Jan 12 04:29:37 CET 2011
86 - do not lowercase cookie names, only parameter names.
87
88 2.01 Tue Jan 11 07:38:15 CET 2011
89 - add missing dependency on common::sense.
90 - add a resume download example.
91
92 2.0 Tue Jan 4 09:16:56 CET 2011
93 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
94 - support HTTP/1.1 persistent and HTTP/1.0 keep-alive connections.
95 - drop https-proxy-connection support. seems unused and ill-specified.
96 - use more differentiated 59x status codes.
97 - properly use url (not proxy) hostname to verify server certificate.
98 - much improved cookie implementation:
99 - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies).
100 - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire.
101 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
102 set-cookie headers.
103 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
104 improve compatibility with broken servers.
105 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
106 they were received - this should not impact valid values.
107 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
108 - support the max-age cookie parameter, overrides expires.
109 - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date.
110 - properly support value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly).
111 - do not send Host: header in a proxy CONNECT request.
112 - use common::sense.
113 - lowercase hostnames and schemes.
114 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
115 - handle spaces in content-length headers more gracefully.
116
117 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
118 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
119 (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
120 - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
121 - add socks4a connect example.
122 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
123 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
124 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
125 - add 205 to the responses without body.
126
127 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
128 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
129 and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
130 analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
131 - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
132 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
133 of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
134 - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
135 - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
136 - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
137 speed penatly :).
138
139 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
140 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
141 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
142 - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
143 - document URL pseudo-header better.
144 - explain how to implement DNS caching.
145
146 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
147 - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
148 as there are even more broken servers out there.
149 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
150 - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
151 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
152
153 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
154 - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
155
156 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
157 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fields by specifying undef
158 (requested by Mr Guest).
159 - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
160 (reported by Mr Guest).
161 - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
162 (requested by Mr Guest).
163
164 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
165 - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
166 (analysed by Robin Redeker).
167
168 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
169 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
170 tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
171 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
172 as EINPROGRESS.
173 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
174 - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
175 the body dowload was successful or not.
176 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
177 when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
178 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
179 no error occured.
180 - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
181 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
182 - include "U" token in User-Agent.
183 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
184 - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
185 hits. microsoft hits. you die).
186
187 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
188 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
189 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
190
191 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
192 - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
193 causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
194
195 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
196 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
197 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
198 provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
199 - document the return values of http_* functions better.
200 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
201 break correctly written users of the old API).
202 - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
203 - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
204 - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
205 - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
206 in the weirdest of places.
207 - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
208 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
209
210 1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
211 - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
212 (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
213
214 1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008

216 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
217
218 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
219 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
220 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
221 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
222 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
223
224 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
225 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
226 - export http_post, http_head.
227
228 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
