22
23 - fix cookie format documentation.
24
25 2.24 Thu Aug 30 03:23:03 CEST 2018
26 - bring cookie management more in line with RFC 6265; implement idn
27 matching for cookie domains.
28 - update cookie_jar version to 2, invalidate existing cookie jars.
29 - preserve original cookie domain attribute.
30 - also expire old cookie jars in cookie parser, just in case.
31 - further improve relative redirection code.
32 - comment out code that tried to detect possible bugs with persistent
33 connection caching, but since it never triggered, it's probably
34 working fine :)
35 - do not call on_body callback on a response that AE::HTTP will recurse
36 on internally (reported by Антон Онуфриев and Ruslan Zakirov).
37
38 2.23 Sun Aug 28 11:30:33 CEST 2016
39 - relative redirects used the proxy schema instead of the request
40 url schema to generate the new url, which is wrong (analyzed by Felix
41 Ostmann).
42 - fix download example (reported by Felix Ostmann).
43
44 2.22 Thu May 14 04:04:03 CEST 2015
45 - ipv6 literals were not correctly parsed (analyzed by Raphael Geissert).
46 - delete the body when mutating request to GET request when
47 redirecting (reported by joe trader).
48 - send proxy-authorization header to proxy when using CONNECT
49 (reported by dzagashev@gmail.com).
50 - do not send Proxy-Authroization header when not using a proxy.
51 - when retrying a persistent request, switch persistency off.
52 - added t/02_ip_literals.t.
53
54 2.21 Mon Jun 9 01:35:54 CEST 2014
55 - correctly keep body when redirecting POSTs, instead of
56 deleting them.
57
58 2.2 Mon Jun 9 01:31:46 CEST 2014
59 - connection header was malformed (patch by Raphael Geissert).
60 - add lots of known idempotent methods from httpbis.
61 - implement relative location headers (rfc 7231), with fallback on URI.
62 - add support for status code 308 from rfc 7238.
63 - recommend URI.
64
65 2.15 Wed Nov 14 23:22:07 CET 2012
66 - use the recurse parameter to also limit the number of retries to be
67 done, avodiing endless loops with broken servers, as reported
68 by Carl Chambers.
69
70 2.14 Sun Apr 22 14:57:51 CEST 2012
71 - Time::Local::timegm croaks on out-of-range values. Don't let
72 this disturb AnyEvent::HTTP (reported by: tell me, I forgot...).
73
74 2.13 Wed Jul 27 17:53:58 CEST 2011
75 - garbled chunked responses caused AnyEvent::HTTP to malfunction
76 (patch by Dmitri Melikyan).
77 - fix GET => HEAD in one case in the documentation (James Bromberger).
78
79 2.12 Tue Jun 14 07:22:54 CEST 2011
80 - fix a possible 'Can't call method "destroyed"' error (which would
81 have been reported by Carl Chambers).
82
83 2.11 Tue May 10 14:33:28 CEST 2011
84 - the keepalive session cache wouldn't take port and scheme into account
85 when reusing connection - potentially causing information leaks
86 (reported by Nick Kostirya).
87 - bump AnyEvent dependency version (reported by Richard Harris).
88
89 2.1 Thu Feb 24 13:11:51 CET 2011
90 - the keepalive and persistent parameters were actually named
91 differently in the code - they now work as documented.
92 - fix a bug where callbacks would sometimes never be called when
93 the request timeout is near or below the persistent connection
94 timeout (testcase by Cindy Wang).
95 - destroying the guard would have no effect when a request was
96 recursing or being retired.
97
98 2.04 Sat Feb 19 07:45:24 CET 2011
99 - "proxy => undef" now overrides any global proxy when specified.
100 - require scheme in urls, also use a stricter match to match urls,
101 leading or trailing garbage is no longer tolerated.
102 - EXPERIMENTAL: allow '=' in cookie values.
103
104 2.03 Tue Jan 18 18:49:35 CET 2011
105 - dummy reupload, file gone from cpan somehow.
106
107 2.02 Wed Jan 12 04:29:37 CET 2011
108 - do not lowercase cookie names, only parameter names.
109
110 2.01 Tue Jan 11 07:38:15 CET 2011
111 - add missing dependency on common::sense.
112 - add a resume download example.
113
114 2.0 Tue Jan 4 09:16:56 CET 2011
115 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
116 - support HTTP/1.1 persistent and HTTP/1.0 keep-alive connections.
117 - drop https-proxy-connection support. seems unused and ill-specified.
118 - use more differentiated 59x status codes.
119 - properly use url (not proxy) hostname to verify server certificate.
120 - much improved cookie implementation:
121 - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies).
122 - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire.
123 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
124 set-cookie headers.
125 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
126 improve compatibility with broken servers.
127 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
128 they were received - this should not impact valid values.
129 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
130 - support the max-age cookie parameter, overrides expires.
131 - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date.
132 - properly support value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly).
133 - do not send Host: header in a proxy CONNECT request.
134 - use common::sense.
135 - lowercase hostnames and schemes.
136 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
137 - handle spaces in content-length headers more gracefully.
138
139 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
140 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
141 (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
142 - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
143 - add socks4a connect example.
144 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
145 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
146 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
147 - add 205 to the responses without body.
148
149 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
150 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
151 and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
152 analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
153 - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
154 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
155 of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
156 - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
157 - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
158 - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
159 speed penatly :).
160
161 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
162 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
163 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
164 - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
165 - document URL pseudo-header better.
166 - explain how to implement DNS caching.
167
168 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
169 - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
170 as there are even more broken servers out there.
171 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
172 - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
173 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
174
175 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
176 - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
177
178 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
179 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fields by specifying undef
180 (requested by Mr Guest).
181 - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
182 (reported by Mr Guest).
183 - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
184 (requested by Mr Guest).
185
186 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
187 - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
188 (analysed by Robin Redeker).
189
190 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
191 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
192 tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
193 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
194 as EINPROGRESS.
195 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
196 - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
197 the body dowload was successful or not.
198 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
199 when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
200 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
201 no error occured.
202 - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
203 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
204 - include "U" token in User-Agent.
205 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
206 - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
207 hits. microsoft hits. you die).
208
209 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
210 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
211 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
212
213 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
214 - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
215 causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
216
217 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
218 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
219 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
220 provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
221 - document the return values of http_* functions better.
222 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
223 break correctly written users of the old API).
224 - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
225 - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
226 - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
227 - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
228 in the weirdest of places.
229 - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
230 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
231
232 1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
233 - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
234 (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
235
236 1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008
237 - parse reason-less http status responses.
238 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
239
240 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
241 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
242 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
243 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
244 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
245
246 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
247 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
248 - export http_post, http_head.
249
250 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
251 - fixed prototypes for http_* functions
252
253 1.0 Thu Jun 5 20:41:43 CEST 2008
254 - original version, an AnyEvent::AIO clone.
