23
24 - too lenient stastus-line parsing caused us to mis-parse correct
25 HTTP replies. Be less lenient by requiring literal spaces
26 (reported by Laurent).
27 - support invalid but real "HTTP/1.1 200\r\n" status-line
28 (reported by Max Skorobogatov).
29 - mark QUERY as an idempotent method.
30 - use socks4 instead of socks4a in the AnyEvent::HTTP example when
31 connecting to a bare ipv4 address.
32
33
34 2.25 Mon Apr 27 14:11:40 CEST 2020
35 - fix incorrectly sending proxy requests to origin servers
36 when reusing proxy connections (analyzed and testcase by Ivan Robert).
37 - the sessionid parameter was documented as session in random
38 places - fix docs and keep using sessionid in the code as before.
39 - fix cookie format documentation.
40
41 2.24 Thu Aug 30 03:23:03 CEST 2018
42 - bring cookie management more in line with RFC 6265; implement idn
43 matching for cookie domains.
44 - update cookie_jar version to 2, invalidate existing cookie jars.
45 - preserve original cookie domain attribute.
46 - also expire old cookie jars in cookie parser, just in case.
47 - further improve relative redirection code.
48 - comment out code that tried to detect possible bugs with persistent
49 connection caching, but since it never triggered, it's probably
50 working fine :)
51 - do not call on_body callback on a response that AE::HTTP will recurse
52 on internally (reported by Антон Онуфриев and Ruslan Zakirov).
53
54 2.23 Sun Aug 28 11:30:33 CEST 2016
55 - relative redirects used the proxy schema instead of the request
56 url schema to generate the new url, which is wrong (analyzed by Felix
57 Ostmann).
58 - fix download example (reported by Felix Ostmann).
59
60 2.22 Thu May 14 04:04:03 CEST 2015
61 - ipv6 literals were not correctly parsed (analyzed by Raphael Geissert).
62 - delete the body when mutating request to GET request when
63 redirecting (reported by joe trader).
64 - send proxy-authorization header to proxy when using CONNECT
65 (reported by dzagashev@gmail.com).
66 - do not send Proxy-Authroization header when not using a proxy.
67 - when retrying a persistent request, switch persistency off.
68 - added t/02_ip_literals.t.
69
70 2.21 Mon Jun 9 01:35:54 CEST 2014
71 - correctly keep body when redirecting POSTs, instead of
72 deleting them.
73
74 2.2 Mon Jun 9 01:31:46 CEST 2014
75 - connection header was malformed (patch by Raphael Geissert).
76 - add lots of known idempotent methods from httpbis.
77 - implement relative location headers (rfc 7231), with fallback on URI.
78 - add support for status code 308 from rfc 7238.
79 - recommend URI.
80
81 2.15 Wed Nov 14 23:22:07 CET 2012
82 - use the recurse parameter to also limit the number of retries to be
83 done, avodiing endless loops with broken servers, as reported
84 by Carl Chambers.
85
86 2.14 Sun Apr 22 14:57:51 CEST 2012
87 - Time::Local::timegm croaks on out-of-range values. Don't let
88 this disturb AnyEvent::HTTP (reported by: tell me, I forgot...).
89
90 2.13 Wed Jul 27 17:53:58 CEST 2011
91 - garbled chunked responses caused AnyEvent::HTTP to malfunction
92 (patch by Dmitri Melikyan).
93 - fix GET => HEAD in one case in the documentation (James Bromberger).
94
95 2.12 Tue Jun 14 07:22:54 CEST 2011
96 - fix a possible 'Can't call method "destroyed"' error (which would
97 have been reported by Carl Chambers).
98
99 2.11 Tue May 10 14:33:28 CEST 2011
100 - the keepalive session cache wouldn't take port and scheme into account
101 when reusing connection - potentially causing information leaks
102 (reported by Nick Kostirya).
103 - bump AnyEvent dependency version (reported by Richard Harris).
104
105 2.1 Thu Feb 24 13:11:51 CET 2011
106 - the keepalive and persistent parameters were actually named
107 differently in the code - they now work as documented.
108 - fix a bug where callbacks would sometimes never be called when
109 the request timeout is near or below the persistent connection
110 timeout (testcase by Cindy Wang).
111 - destroying the guard would have no effect when a request was
112 recursing or being retired.
113
114 2.04 Sat Feb 19 07:45:24 CET 2011
115 - "proxy => undef" now overrides any global proxy when specified.
116 - require scheme in urls, also use a stricter match to match urls,
117 leading or trailing garbage is no longer tolerated.
118 - EXPERIMENTAL: allow '=' in cookie values.
119
120 2.03 Tue Jan 18 18:49:35 CET 2011
121 - dummy reupload, file gone from cpan somehow.
122
123 2.02 Wed Jan 12 04:29:37 CET 2011
124 - do not lowercase cookie names, only parameter names.
125
126 2.01 Tue Jan 11 07:38:15 CET 2011
127 - add missing dependency on common::sense.
128 - add a resume download example.
129
130 2.0 Tue Jan 4 09:16:56 CET 2011
131 - hopefully fully upgraded to HTTP/1.1.
132 - support HTTP/1.1 persistent and HTTP/1.0 keep-alive connections.
133 - drop https-proxy-connection support. seems unused and ill-specified.
134 - use more differentiated 59x status codes.
135 - properly use url (not proxy) hostname to verify server certificate.
136 - much improved cookie implementation:
137 - properly implement cookie expiry (for new cookies).
138 - new function to expire cookies and sessions: cookie_jar_expire.
139 - add special exception to parse broken expires= keys in
140 set-cookie headers.
141 - do not quote cookie values when not strictly necessary, to
142 improve compatibility with broken servers.
143 - accept and send lots of invalid cookie values exactly as
144 they were received - this should not impact valid values.
145 - lowercase cookie parameter names for improved compatibility.
146 - support the max-age cookie parameter, overrides expires.
147 - support cookie dates (and a few others) in parse_date.
148 - properly support value-less parameters (e.g. secure, httponly).
149 - do not send Host: header in a proxy CONNECT request.
150 - use common::sense.
151 - lowercase hostnames and schemes.
152 - ignore leading zeroes in http version.
153 - handle spaces in content-length headers more gracefully.
154
155 1.5 Fri Dec 31 04:47:08 CET 2010
156 - bugfix: after headers were received, if any error occured the wrong
157 (server-sent) Status and Reason fields would be passed to the callback.
158 - when an error occurs during transfer, preserve status/reason.
159 - add socks4a connect example.
160 - new "tcp_connect" parameter.
161 - new format_date and parse_date functions.
162 - diagnose unexpected eof as such when the length is known.
163 - add 205 to the responses without body.
164
165 1.46 Mon Sep 6 08:29:34 CEST 2010
166 - some (broken) servers differentiate between empty search parts
167 and nonexistant search parts, work around this (problem
168 analyzed by Sergey Zasenko).
169 - possibly increase robustness by always setting an on_error
170 callback on the AnyEvent::Handle object (especially in case
171 of user errors, such as nehative timeouts).
172 - we now always follow 301/302/303 redirects and mutate POST to GET.
173 - we now always follow 307 redirects, even for POST.
174 - header-less responses are not parsed correctly (at a negative
175 speed penatly :).
176
177 1.45 Wed Jun 16 21:15:26 CEST 2010
178 - fix a bug where the handle would go away directly after a successful
179 connect (analyzed and patch by Maxim Dounin).
180 - due to popular demand, introduce the Redirect pseudo response header.
181 - document URL pseudo-header better.
182 - explain how to implement DNS caching.
183
184 1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
185 - do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
186 as there are even more broken servers out there.
187 - allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
188 - set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
189 - support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
190
191 1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
192 - provide on_prepare callback on common request.
193
194 1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
195 - allow suppression of auto-supplied header fields by specifying undef
196 (requested by Mr Guest).
197 - allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
198 (reported by Mr Guest).
199 - do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
200 (requested by Mr Guest).
201
202 1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
203 - correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
204 (analysed by Robin Redeker).
205
206 1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
207 - http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
208 tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
209 - fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
210 as EINPROGRESS.
211 - new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
212 - redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
213 the body dowload was successful or not.
214 - include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
215 when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
216 - pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
217 no error occured.
218 - allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
219 - ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
220 - include "U" token in User-Agent.
221 - document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
222 - allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
223 hits. microsoft hits. you die).
224
225 1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
226 - $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
227 Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
228
229 1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
230 - work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
231 causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
232
233 1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
234 - work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
235 - cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
236 provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
237 - document the return values of http_* functions better.
238 - separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
239 break correctly written users of the old API).
240 - improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
241 - add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
242 - downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
243 - ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
244 in the weirdest of places.
245 - ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
246 - work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
247
248 1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
249 - fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
250 (patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
251
252 1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008
253 - parse reason-less http status responses.
254 - parse more forms of broken location headers.
255
256 1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
257 - fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
258 - do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
259 change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
260 - implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
261
262 1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
263 - make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
264 - export http_post, http_head.
265
266 1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
267 - fixed prototypes for http_* functions
268
269 1.0 Thu Jun 5 20:41:43 CEST 2008
270 - original version, an AnyEvent::AIO clone.
