Changes for version 0.12 - 2004-01-22
- ENHANCEMENTS
- send the error message to the client when the Proxy agent dies (usually because of a filter error)
- the proxy now sends a X-Forwarded-For header by default (and the proxy method x_forwarded_for can toggle this)
- the proxy method client_socket() gives access to the socket connected to the current client (the example in Changes for 0.10 was wrong: one can get the IP address of the connected agent from inside a filter with $self->proxy->client_socket->peerhost)
- FIXES
- do not block simultaneous connections when not forking
- clean up the filter chain after the body-request filters
- ensure the filter stack is reinitialised between requests
- TESTS
- tests for X-Forwarded-For
- test the proxy against http://diveintomark.org/tests/client/http/
- EXAMPLES
- eg/post.pl - outputs the URI and parameters of all POST requests
- eg/logger.pl - outputs details of GET and POST requests
