19
20 2.25
21 - further improve relative redirection code.
22 - comment out code that tried to detect possible bugs with persistent
23 connection caching, but since it never triggered, it's probably
24 working fine :)
25
26 2.24
27 - do not call on_body callback on a response that AE::HTTP will recurse
28 on internally (reported by Антон Онуфриев and Ruslan Zakirov).
29
30 2.23 Sun Aug 28 11:30:33 CEST 2016
31 - relative redirects used the proxy schema instead of the request
32 url schema to generate the new url, which is wrong (analyzed by Felix
33 Ostmann).
34 - fix download example (reported by Felix Ostmann).
35
36 2.22 Thu May 14 04:04:03 CEST 2015
37 - ipv6 literals were not correctly parsed (analyzed by Raphael Geissert).
38 - delete the body when mutating request to GET request when
39 redirecting (reported by joe trader).
40 - send proxy-authorization header to proxy when using CONNECT
41 (reported by dzagashev@gmail.com).
42 - do not send Proxy-Authroization header when not using a proxy.
43 - when retrying a persistent request, switch persistency off.
44 - added t/02_ip_literals.t.
45
46 2.21 Mon Jun 9 01:35:54 CEST 2014
47 - correctly keep body when redirecting POSTs, instead of
48 deleting them.
49
50 2.2 Mon Jun 9 01:31:46 CEST 2014
51 - connection header was malformed (patch by Raphael Geissert).
52 - add lots of known idempotent methods from httpbis.
53 - implement relative location headers (rfc 7231), with fallback on URI.
54 - add support for status code 308 from rfc 7238.
55 - recommend URI.
56
57 2.15 Wed Nov 14 23:22:07 CET 2012
58 - use the recurse parameter to also limit the number of retries to be
59 done, avodiing endless loops with broken servers, as reported
60 by Carl Chambers.
61
62 2.14 Sun Apr 22 14:57:51 CEST 2012
63 - Time::Local::timegm croaks on out-of-range values. Don't let
64 this disturb AnyEvent::HTTP (reported by: tell me, I forgot...).
65
66 2.13 Wed Jul 27 17:53:58 CEST 2011
67 - garbled chunked responses caused AnyEvent::HTTP to malfunction
68 (patch by Dmitri Melikyan).
69 - fix GET => HEAD in one case in the documentation (James Bromberger).
70
71 2.12 Tue Jun 14 07:22:54 CEST 2011
72 - fix a possible 'Can't call method "destroyed"' error (which would
73 have been reported by Carl Chambers).
74
75 2.11 Tue May 10 14:33:28 CEST 2011
76 - the keepalive session cache wouldn't take port and scheme into account
77 when reusing connection - potentially causing information leaks
78 (reported by Nick Kostirya).
79 - bump AnyEvent dependency version (reported by Richard Harris).
80
81 2.1 Thu Feb 24 13:11:51 CET 2011
82 - the keepalive and persistent parameters were actually named
83 differently in the code - they now work as documented.
84 - fix a bug where callbacks would sometimes never be called when
85 the request timeout is near or below the persistent connection
86 timeout (testcase by Cindy Wang).
87 - destroying the guard would have no effect when a request was
88 recursing or being retired.
89
90 2.04 Sat Feb 19 07:45:24 CET 2011
91 - "proxy => undef" now overrides any global proxy when specified.
92 - require scheme in urls, also use a stricter match to match urls,
93 leading or trailing garbage is no longer tolerated.
94 - EXPERIMENTAL: allow '=' in cookie values.
95
96 2.03 Tue Jan 18 18:49:35 CET 2011
97 - dummy reupload, file gone from cpan somehow.
98
99 2.02 Wed Jan 12 04:29:37 CET 2011
100 - do not lowercase cookie names, only parameter names.
101
102 2.01 Tue Jan 11 07:38:15 CET 2011
103 - add missing dependency on common::sense.
104 - add a resume download example.
105
106 2.0 Tue Jan 4 09:16:56 CET 2011
107 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
108 - support HTTP/1.1 persistent and HTTP/1.0 keep-alive connections.
109 - drop https-proxy-connection support. seems unused and ill-specified.
110 - use more differentiated 59x status codes.
111 - properly use url (not proxy) hostname to verify server certificate.
112 - much improved cookie implementation:
113 - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies).
114 - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire.
115 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
116 set-cookie headers.
117 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
118 improve compatibility with broken servers.
119 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
120 they were received - this should not impact valid values.
121 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
122 - support the max-age cookie parameter, overrides expires.
123 - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date.
124 - properly support value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly).
125 - do not send Host: header in a proxy CONNECT request.
126 - use common::sense.
127 - lowercase hostnames and schemes.
128 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
129 - handle spaces in content-length headers more gracefully.
130
131 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
132 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
133 (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
134 - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
135 - add socks4a connect example.
136 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
137 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
138 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
139 - add 205 to the responses without body.
140
141 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
142 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
143 and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
144 analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
145 - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
146 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
147 of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
148 - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
149 - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
150 - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
151 speed penatly :).
152
153 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
154 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
155 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
156 - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
157 - document URL pseudo-header better.
158 - explain how to implement DNS caching.
159
160 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
161 - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
162 as there are even more broken servers out there.
163 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
164 - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
165 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
166
167 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
168 - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
169
170 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
171 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fields by specifying undef
172 (requested by Mr Guest).
173 - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
174 (reported by Mr Guest).
175 - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
176 (requested by Mr Guest).
177
178 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
179 - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
180 (analysed by Robin Redeker).
181
182 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
183 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
184 tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
185 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
186 as EINPROGRESS.
187 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
188 - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
189 the body dowload was successful or not.
190 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
191 when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
192 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
193 no error occured.
194 - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
195 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
196 - include "U" token in User-Agent.
197 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
198 - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
199 hits. microsoft hits. you die).
200
201 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
202 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
203 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
204
205 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
206 - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
207 causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
208
209 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
210 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
211 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
212 provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
213 - document the return values of http_* functions better.
214 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
215 break correctly written users of the old API).
216 - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
217 - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
218 - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
219 - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
220 in the weirdest of places.
221 - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
222 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
223
224 1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
225 - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
226 (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
227
228 1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008
229 - parse reason-less http status responses.
230 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
231
232 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
233 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
234 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
235 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
236 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
237
238 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
239 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
240 - export http_post, http_head.
241
242 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
243 - fixed prototypes for http_* functions
244
245 1.0 Thu Jun 5 20:41:43 CEST 2008
246 - original version, an AnyEvent::AIO clone.
