Changes for version 1.00 - 2004-04-10

  • I figure it's about time we hit 1.00, and this version seems like a good place to do it, because of the potential breakage described below...
  • THINGS THAT WILL BREAK YOUR CODE
    • Header handling has changed. There is no more package variable %headers that holds all the headers to be added. They are now added on a per-object basis.
      • If you were adding a header with add_header(), and the code relied on that header still being set later on in a later instance of the variable, that code will now break, because the later instance won't have the header set.
  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • You can now prevent a header from being sent by adding it with an undef value, as in:
      • $mech->add_header( Referer => undef );
  • FIXES
    • Now correctly adds Accept-Encoding to all requests that need it.
  • INTERNALS
    • Added new $mech->_modify_request($req) method to do all the HTTP header modification before the actual request gets sent off. Subclasses are able to override it if they want.
    • Removed the unused Compress::Zlib stuff.
