1.44 Sat Dec 5 16:36:20 CET 2009
- do not generate content-length on get requests (if the body is empty),
as there are even more broken servers out there.
- allow set_proxy to clear the proxy again.
- set_proxy will now croak on invalid urls.
- support overriding the Host-header (requested by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
1.43 Fri Aug 14 17:02:02 CEST 2009
- provide on_prepare callback on common request.
1.42 Wed Aug 5 18:43:01 CEST 2009
- allow suppression of auto-supplied header fieds by specifying undef
(requested by Mr Guest).
- allow proxy scheme to be missing, as documented
(reported by Mr Guest).
- do not follow redirects if we do not have a location header
(requested by Mr Guest).
1.41 Sat Jul 25 03:27:05 CEST 2009
- correctly parse completely headerless responses (e.g. by gatling).
(analysed by Robin Redeker).
1.4 Tue Jul 7 02:14:53 CEST 2009
- http_request would not instantly clear the connection slot on
tcp_connect failures, potentially leading to deadlocks.
- fix a bug where a connection error is wrongly reported
as EINPROGRESS.
- new parameters: on_header, on_body, want_body_handle.
- redirects will be followed when recurse is enabled whether or not
the body dowload was successful or not.
- include :port in Host header when given in the url (many sites break
when it's always there, and many break if it's missing...).
- pass the empty string, not undef, when there is no body but
no error occured.
- allow passing of tls_ctx, predefine two https security profiles.
- ucfirst all error messages generated internally.
- include "U" token in User-Agent.
- document $AnyEvent::HTTP::MAX_PER_HOST.
- allow empty field names in response headers (microsoft hits. microsoft
hits. microsoft hits. you die).
1.12 Thu Jun 11 14:45:18 CEST 2009
- $scheme wasn't optional in the proxy specification (reported by
Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
1.11 Fri Nov 21 09:18:11 CET 2008
- work around a perl core bug not properly refcounting function arguments,
causing "200 OK" with random body results (reported by Дмитрий Шалашов).
1.1 Thu Oct 30 04:46:27 CET 2008
- work around different behaviour of AnyEvent::Handle in TLS mode.
- cleanup cookie implementation, many examples and comments were
provided by Дмитрий Шалашов.
- document the return values of http_* functions better.
- separate multiple header values by "," not "\x00" (this does not
break correctly written users of the old API).
- improve Set-Cookie: parsing.
- add experimental https-over-http-proxy support.
- downgrade https-over-https proxy to https-over-http.
- ignore spurious CR characters in headers, they show up
in the weirdest of places.
- ucfirst the request headers, for a slightly less weird look.
- work around (some) memleaks in perl regarding qr.
1.05 Mon Sep 29 15:49:58 CEST 2008
- fix a regex when parsing cookie domains
(patch by Дмитрий Шалашов).
1.04 Thu Jul 24 08:00:46 CEST 2008
- parse reason-less http status responses.
- parse more forms of broken location headers.
1.03 Thu Jul 3 03:47:58 CEST 2008
- fix http_post, which was totally broken (patch by Pedro Melo).
- do not recurse on POST requests, as per HTTP/1.[01] (this might
change as the recommendation isn't followed by anybody else).
- implement preliminary support for 303/307 redirects.
1.02 Thu Jun 12 13:50:08 CEST 2008
- make the request URL available in the callback of http_request.
- export http_post, http_head.
1.01 Fri Jun 6 14:56:37 CEST 2008
- fixed prototypes for http_* functions
1.0 Thu Jun 5 20:41:43 CEST 2008
- original version, an AnyEvent::AIO clone.
