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

241 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
242
243 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
244 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
245 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
246 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
247 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
248
249 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
250 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
251 - export http_post, http_head.
252
253 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
254 - fixed prototypes for http_* functions
255
256 1.0 Thu Jun 5 20:41:43 CEST 2008
257 - original version, an AnyEvent::AIO clone.
