This 282 change does together with a change in LWP::Protocol::https. The 283 change supports LWP::Protocol::https with the default IO::Socket::SSL 284 backend, but also with Net::SSL. Also: 285 - proxy authorization is supported (http://user:pass@host:port as 286 proxy URL, Net::SSL still needs special HTTPS_PROXY_* ENV 287 variables, as before) 288 - CONNECT request does not need to be the first request inside the 289 tunnel (not with Net::SSL) 290 - conn_cache is read and written inside request(), instead of 291 writing in request() and reading in _new_socket(). If a https 292 tunnel is established the cache_key no longer depends only on 293 proxy host,port but also on the tunnel endpoint 294 - CONNECT is a proxy request and must always use Proxy-Authorization, 295 not Authorization header 296 - fix: auth-header of Digest auth did not conform to 297 - RFC 2617 when WWW-Authenticate has 'qop' parameter. 298 - SSL libs might trigger ENOTTY on read 299 - Small typo. 300 3016.05 2013-03-11 302 - Derive message from status code if it was not provided 303 - Merge pull request #33 from tomhukins/fix-readme 304 - fix typo in comment 305 - Spelling fixes. 306 - Spelling fix. 307 - Merge pull request #34 from berekuk/fix-github-path 308 - Update repo URL 309 - With Net::HTTP 6.04 we don't need our own can_read() and sysread override 310 - $ENV{HTTP_PROXY} might override our test setup [RT#81381] 311 - fix github url in perldoc 312 - * Pod is utf-8 313 - Match required perl in Makefile.PL 314 - Fix Github URLs 315 3166.04 2012-02-18 317 - Typo fix; envirionment [RT#72386] 318 - Implement $ua->is_online test 319 - Add separate option to enable the live jigsaw tests 320 - Merge pull request #10 from trcjr/master 321 - now with put and delete helpers 322 - updated POD 323 - unit tests for ua->put and ua->delete 324 - These modules work with 5.8.1 325 3266.03 2011-10-15 327 - Link updates. 328 - Attribute documentation wording improvements. 329 - Don't parse robots.txt response content unless it's textual. 330 - Decode robots.txt response content before attempting to parse it. 331 - RobotUA robots.txt response parsing cleanups. 332 - Don't parse HEAD of robots.txt responses. 333 - Request handler doc grammar fixes. 334 - Pass on HTTP/1.0 if set as request protocol 335 - Remove outdated docs (not touched since 1996 :-) 336 - Merge pull request #22 from madsen/RT67947-verify_hostname 337 - PERL_LWP_ENV_PROXY tweaks 338 - lwp-request didn't respect -H Content-type [RT#70488] 339 - lwp-request -H didn't allow repeated headers 340 - verify_hostname defaults to 0 if ssl_opts provided [RT#67947] 341 - Test verify_hostname setting 342 - Fix expect header support to work with content refs. 343 - add PERL_LWP_ENV_PROXY env variable to enable env_proxy globally 344 3456.02 2011-03-27 346 - This is the release where we try to help the CPAN-toolchain be able to 347 install the modules required for https-support in LWP. We have done this 348 by unbundling the LWP::Protocol::https module from the libwww-perl 349 distribution. In order to have https support you now need to install 350 (or depend on) 'LWP::Protocol::https' and then this will make sure that 351 all the prerequisite modules comes along. See [RT#66838]. 352 - This release also removes the old http10 modules that has really been 353 deprecated since v5.60. These should have been removed at the v6.00 354 jump, but I forgot. 355 - Ignores env variables when ssl_opts provided [RT#66663] 356 - Fix typo; Authen::NTLM [RT#66884] 357 - Support LWP::ConnCache->new(total_capacity => undef) 358 3596.01 2011-03-09 360 - Add missing HTTP::Daemon dependency for the tests. 361 3626.00 2011-03-08 363 - Unbundled all modules not in the LWP:: namespace from the distribution. 364 The new broken out CPAN distributions are 365 File-Listing, HTML-Form, HTTP-Cookies, HTTP-Daemon, HTTP-Date, 366 HTTP-Message, HTTP-Negotiate, Net-HTTP, and WWW-RobotRules. 367 libwww-perl-6 require these to be installed. 368 - This release also drops the unmaintained lwp-rget script from the distribution. 369 - Perl v5.8.8 or better is now required. For older versions of perl please 370 stay with libwww-perl-5.837. 371 - For https://... default to verified connections with require 372 IO::Socket::SSL and Mozilla::CA modules to be installed. Old behaviour 373 can be requested bysetting the PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME environment 374 variable to 0. The LWP::UserAgent got new ssl_opts method to control 375 this as well. 376 - Support internationalized URLs from command line scripts and in the proxy 377 environment variables. 378 - The lwp-dump script got new --request option. 379 - The lwp-request script got new -E option, contributed by Tony Finch. 380 - Protocol handlers and callbacks can raise HTTP::Response objects as 381 exceptions. This will abort the current request and make LWP return the 382 raised response. 383 3845.837 2010-09-20 385 - Fix for Encode 2.40 386 - Fix Perl syntax error in synopsis 387 - Allow ISO 8601 date strings when parsing Apache file listings 388 3895.836 2010-05-13 390 - Fix problem where $resp->base would downcase its return value 391 3925.835 2010-05-05 393 - simple string can be simplified 394 - Make $mess->decoded_content remove XML encoding declarations [RT#52572] 395 - Don't allow saving to filenames starting with '.' suggested by server 396 - Avoid race between testing for existence of output file and opening the file 397 - Minor doc fixup -- wrongly ucfirsted word 398 - Use decoded_content in HTTP:Response synopsis [RT#54139] 399 - sun.com is no more. rip! 400 - Trivial layout tweak to reduce variable scope. 401 - Add 'make test_hudson' target 402 - Implement alt_charset parameter for decoded_content() 403 - Test decoding with different charset parameters 404 - lwp-download now needs the -s option to honor the Content-Disposition header 405 - Make LWP::MediaTypes::media_suffix case insensitive. 406 - Skip XML decoding tests if XML::Simple is not available. 407 - Documentation fixes. 408 - Fix m_media_type => "xhtml" matching. 409 - Make parse_head() apply to data: requests. 410 - Documentation spelling fixes. 411 - Documentation grammar fixes. 412 - Use $uri->secure in m_secure if available. 413 - Fix handling of multiple (same) base headers, and parameters in them. 414 - Strip out empty lines separated by CRLF 415 - Best Practice: avoid indirect object notation 416 - Speed up as_string by 4% by having _sorted_field_names return a reference 417 - Speed up scan() a bit. as_string() from this branch is now 6% faster 418 - Port over as_string() optimizations from HTTP::Headers::Fast 419 - Link to referenced documentation. 420 - Update repository location. 421 - Remove needless (and actually harmful) local $_ 422 - "Perl & LWP" is available online 423 4245.834 2009-11-21 425 - Check for sane default_headers argument [RT#50393] 426 - Add $ua->local_address attribute [RT#40912] 427 - Test that generation of boundary works [RT#49396] 428 - Page does not display the "standard" apache listing any more 429 - Remove unneeded executable permissions. 430 - Switch compression/decompression to use the IO::Compress/IO::Uncompress 431 and Compress::Raw::Zlib family of modules. 432 - lwp-request should use stderr for auth [RT#21620] 433 4345.833 2009-10-06 435 - Deal with cookies that expire far into the future [RT#50147] 436 - Deal with cookies that expire at or before epoch [RT#49467] 437 - Pass separate type for https to LWP::ConnCache [RT#48899] 438 - Improved handling of the User-Agent header [RT#48461] 439 - HTTP::Cookies add_cookie_header previous Cookies [RT#46106] 440 - Improve diagnostics from LWP::UserAgent::mirror [RT#48869] 441 - mirror should die in case X-Died is set [RT#48236] 442 - Increase default Net::HTTP max line length to 8k. 443 4445.832 2009-09-21 445 - Fix net test suite. 446 - Comment spelling fixes. 447 - Fix links to old Netscape cookie specification. 448 - Documentation spelling fixes. 449 - Improve max line length exceeded/read error messages. 450 - Do not warn about seemingly wellformed but unrecognized robots.txt lines. 451 - $mess->content_charset would fail for empty content 452 - Further restrict what variables env_proxy() process 453 4545.831 2009-08-13 455 - Fix bzip2 content encoding/decoding. 456 - send_te() doc grammar fix. 457 - Document time2str() behavior with an undefined argument. 458 - HTML::Message's content_charset trigger warnings from HTML::Parser [RT#48621] 459 4605.830 2009-07-26 461 - select doesn't return undef on failure [RT#32356] 462 - Add raw RFC 1951 deflate test case. 463 4645.829 2009-07-07 465 - This release removes callback handlers that were left over on the returned 466 HTTP::Responses. This was problematic because it created reference loops 467 preventing the Perl garbage collector from releasing their memory. 468 Another problem was that Storable by default would not serialize these 469 objects any more. 470 - This release also adds support for locating HTML::Form inputs by id or 471 class attribute; for instance $form->value("#foo", 42) will set the 472 value on the input with the ID of "foo". 473 - Make the example code 'use strict' clean by adding a my 474 - Avoid cycle in response 475 - Clean up handlers has from response after data processing is done 476 - Support finding inputs by id or class in HTML::Form 477 - Test HTML::Form selectors 478 - Tidy and document the internals of mirror() better [RT#23450] 479 - Avoid warnings from HTML::Form [RT#42654] 480 4815.828 2009-06-25 482 - A quick new release to restore compatibility with perl-5.6. 483 - Less noisy behaviour when we can't download the documents 484 - Restore perl-5.6 compatibility [RT#47054] 485 - Don't decode US-ASCII and ISO-8859-1 content 486 - Some versions of Encode don't support UTF-16-BE [RT#47152] 487 - Spelling fixes. 488 4895.827 2009-06-15 490 - The main news this time is better detection of what character set the 491 document in a response uses and the addition of the lwp-dump script that 492 I found useful. 493 - Added lwp-dump script 494 - Replace calls to $req->url with $req->uri 495 - Also need to encode strings in the latin1 range 496 - Ignore the value set for file inputs [RT#46911] 497 - Add docs to lwp-dump 498 - Don't let lwp-dump follow redirects 499 - Support --method options 500 - Implement the --agent option 501 - Dictionary order for the option docs; document --method 502 - Merge branch 'dump' 503 - Files are passed as an array and we must not stringify it. 504 - Add content_charset method to HTTP::Message 505 - Start guessing the charset for a message 506 - Let content_charset guess the charset to use for decoded_content 507 - Specify what's missing for the XML and HTML case 508 - Provide charset parameter for HTML::Form->parse() 509 - Make content_charset sniff for <meta> elements specifying the charset. 510 - Determine charset of XML documents 511 - Get rid of the _trivial_http_get() implementation 512 - Update the bundled media.types file 513 - LWP::Simple::get() now returns decoded_content [RT#44435] 514 - Implement content_type_charset method for HTTP::Headers 515 - Implement content_is_text method for HTTP::Headers 516 - Make use of content_is_text and content_type_charset in decoded_content 517 - Don't let the parse_head callback append to the HTTP headers 518 - Don't set Range header on request when max_size is used [RT#17208] 519 - Still show client headers for internal responses 520 - Document Client-Warning: Internal response 521 - Don't use 'no' as example domain for no_proxy docs [RT#43728] 522 - Drop exit from the Makefile.PL [RT#43060] 523 - Merge branch 'content_charset' 524 - Support "accept-charset" attribute in HTML::Form 525 - new tests for max_size and 206 responses [RT#46230] 526 - Reformulation of Client-Warning: Internal documentation 527 5285.826 2009-04-24 529 - Avoid returning stale Content-Type header after message parts have been updated 530 - Don't let content saved to file be affected by the $\ setting 531 - Issues around multipart boundaries [RT#28970] 532 - Ignore random _proxy env variables, allow only valid schemes 533 - README.SSL is not anymore available at the linpro.no URL. 534 - Make LWP::UserAgent constructor honor the default_headers option [RT#16637] 535 5365.825 2009-02-16 537 - Fixup test failure with perl-5.8.8 and older; qr/$/m doesn't work 538 5395.824 2009-02-13 540 - Make format_request() ensure that it returns bytes [RT#42396] 541 - Force bytes in all the format_* methods. 542 - Ignore Sitemap: lines in robots.txt [RT#42420] 543 - Refactor; use variable to hold the test port 544 - Add redirects method to HTTP::Message 545 - Setting $ua->max_redirect(0) didn't work [RT#40260] 546 - Convert files to UTF-8 547 - HTTP::Cookies destructor should not clobber $!

This release is strongly 590 recommended as an upgrade for those releases. 591 - Don't override $Net::HTTPS::SSL_SOCKET_CLASS if it's already set. 592 - Wrong content handlers would sometimes be skipped [RT#40187] 593 5945.818 2008-10-16 595 - Main news in this release is the addition of the dump() method to the 596 request and response objects. If found that I often ended up printing 597 $resp->as_string for debugging and then regretting after the terminal 598 got into a strange mode or just kept on scrolling for the longest time. 599 - Use deflate compression instead of gzip for the test 600 - Simplify; Get rid of the $USE_STORABLE_DCLONE configuration 601 - Add dump method to HTTP::Message. 602 - Use $res->dump instead of rolling our own. 603 - Layout change; move headers() methods to a more logical place. 604 - Add support for x-bzip2 encoding; fix bzip2 decoding. 605 - Add send_header method to HTTP::Daemon 606 - Make the lwp-request User-Agent string include the LWP version. 607 - clone implemented in terms of Storable::dclone [RT#39611] 608 6095.817 2008-10-10 610 - This is the release where I played around with Devel::NYTProf to figure 611 where time was actually spent during the processing of requests with 612 LWP. The methods that manipulated header objects stood out, so this 613 release contains a few tweaks to make those parts faster. 614 - I also figured a few convenience methods to encode and decode the content 615 of request/response objects would be in order. 616 - Should store "wire" headers field names with _ without translation. 617 - Test HTTP::Request->parse(). 618 - Restore pre-5.815 behaviour of returning "400 Bad Request" [RT#39694] 619 - Rename the HTTP::Status constants to have HTTP_ prefix 620 - Detection of unsupported schemes was broken [RT#37637] 621 - Allow tainted methods to be forwarded to HTTP::Headers [RT#38736] 622 - Add strict mode to HTML::Form 623 - Fix test now that less warnings are generated. 624 - Add content_is_xml method 625 - Make split_header_words() lower case returned tokens/keys 626 - Avoid invoking AUTOLOAD on object destruction [RT#39852] 627 - Add decode() method to HTTP::Message 628 - Add encode() method to HTTP::Message 629 - Allow multiple fields to be set with push_header(). 630 - Make content_type and content_is_xhtml methods faster 631 - Faster push_header() 632 6335.816 2008-09-29 634 - Oops, release 5.815 broke download-to-file on Windows. 635 - Add missing binmode() [RT#39668] 636 - Doc tweaks 637 6385.815 2008-09-24 639 - The main change this time is the introduction of handlers to drive the 640 processing of requests in LWP::UserAgent. You can also register your 641 own handlers for modifying and processing requests or responses on their 642 way, which I think is a much more flexible approach that trying to 643 subclass LWP::UserAgent to customize it. If we have had these early on 644 then the LWP::UserAgent API could have been so much simpler as the 645 effect of most current attributes can easily be set up with trivial 646 handlers. 647 - Also thanks to contributions by Bron Gondwana LWP's Basic/Digest auth 648 modules now registers handlers which allow them to automatically fill 649 in the Authorization headers without first taking the round-trip of a 650 401 response when LWP knows the credentials for a given realm. 651 - We don't need to build the docs to run the tests. 652 - Style tweaks. 653 - The jigsaw service isn't up to much good these days. 654 - HTTP::Cookies produces warnings for undefined cookie param names [RT#38480] 655 - Typo fix; HTTP::Message will never include x-bzip2 in Accept-Encoding [RT#38617] 656 - Added HTTP::Config module 657 - Add methods to configure processing handlers. 658 - 100 Continue response not complete. 659 - Use 3-arg open when response content to files. 660 - Make the show_progress attribute official (by documenting it). 661 - Start using handlers for driving the inner logic of LWP::UserAgent. 662 - Expose the content_is_html and content_is_xhtml methods from HTTP::Headers. 663 - Make credentials method able to get/set values. 664 - An auth handler per realm. 665 - Match proxy setting for request. 666 - Set up separate handler for adding proxy authentication. 667 - Add request_preprepare to be able to initialize proxy early enough. 668 - Smarter get_my_handler() that can also create handlers. 669 - Refactor; introduce run_handlers method 670 - Pass in handler hash to the handler callback. 671 - Don't let version=1 override behaviour if specified with a plan Set-Cookie header. 672 - Remove handler when we don't have a username/password for the realm. 673 - Make tests use Test.pm 674 - Double-check that username or password has changed after a failed login. 675 - Update Digest Authen to subclass Basic. 676 - Avoid running out of filehandles with DYNAMIC_FILE_UPLOAD. 677 - Fixed parsing of header values starting with ':' [RT#39367] 678 - Documentation typo fixes [RT#38203] 679 6805.814 2008-07-25 681 - Typo fix. 682 - Add HTTP::Message::decodable() 683 - Use decoded_content in the synopsis 684 - Avoid adding an empty first part in $mess->add_part() 685 - Get rid of all the manual dependency tests. 686 - Simplify the Makefile.PL (no interactivity) 687 - Provide DELETE method in HTTP::Request::Common [RT#37481] 688 - Checkbox picks up nearby text in description of alternates [RT#36771] 689 - HTML::Form::possible_values() should not returned disabled values [RT#35248] 690 - File::Listing documentation claimed only 'unix' format was supported [RT#22021] 691 - File::Listing only support English locales [RT#28879] 692 - Make common-req.t use Test.pm 693 - Typo; CAN_TALK_TO_OUTSELF 694 - Fix up File::Listings fallback to dosftp [RT#23540] 695 - File::Listing parse failure on BSD Linux based systems [RT#26724] 696 6975.813 2008-06-17 698 - RobotUA constructor ignores delay, use_sleep [RT#35456] 699 - Spelling fixes [RT#35457] 700 - Add HTTP::Response->filename [RT#35458] 701 - Better diagnostics when the HTML::TokeParser constructor fails [RT#35607] 702 - Multiple forms with same-named <select> parse wrongly [RT#35607] 703 - Provide a progress method that does something that might be useful. 704 - Documentation typo fix [RT#36132] 705 7065.812 2008-04-16 707 - Typo fix. 708 - Simplified Net::HTTP::Methods constructor call. 709 - Croak if Net::HTTP constructor called with no argument. 710 - Avoid calling $self->peerport to figure out what the port is. 711 - 5.811 breaks SSL requests [RT#35090] 712 - Make test suite compatible with perl-5.6.1. 713 - Wrong treatment of qop value in Digest Authentication [RT#35055] 714 7155.811 2008-04-14 716 - Avoid "used only once" warning for $Config::Config. 717 - Make HTTP::Request::Common::PUT set Content-Length header [RT#34772] 718 - Added the add_content_utf8 method to HTTP::Message. 719 - Typo fix. 720 - Retry syscalls when they fail with EINTR or EAGAIN [RT#34093,32356] 721 - Allow HTTP::Content content that can be downgraded to bytes. 722 - HTML::Form does not recognise multiple select items with same name [RT#18993] 723 - Document how HTTP::Status codes correspond to the classification functions [RT#20819] 724 - Allow 100, 204, 304 responses to have content [RT#17907] 725 - HTTP::Request::Common::POST suppressed filename="0" in Content-Disposition [RT#18887] 726 7275.810 2008-04-08 728 - Small documentation issues [RT#31346] 729 - Explain $netloc argument to $ua->credentials [RT#31969] 730 - Make lwp-request honour option -b while dumping links [RT#31347] 731 - Ignore params for date convenience methods [RT#30579] 732 - Get rid of all the old CVS $Keyword:...$ templates.

Too much JavaScript madness for it to 753 be a sane LWP test. 754 7555.807 2007-07-31 756 - Apply patch correction from CPAN RT #26152 757 - More laxed t/live/validator test. 758 7595.806 2007-07-19 760 - Added progress callback to LWP::UserAgent. 761 - HTTP::Daemon didn't avoid content in responses to HEAD requests 762 - Add support for HTTP Expect header to HTTP::Daemon (CPAN RT #27933) 763 - Fix t/base/message.t so tests are skipped if Encode is not installed. 764 (RT #25286) 765 - Add HTML::Tagset as a prerequisite to Makefile.PL 766 - Do not clobber $_ in LWP::Protocol::nntp (CPAN RT #25132) 767 - Fix lwp-download so it can download files with an "_" in the filename 768 (CPAN RT#26207) 769 - Quiet complaints from HTML::HeadParser when dealing with undecoded UTF-8 770 data. (CPAN RT#20274) 771 - When both IO::Socket::SSL and Net::SSL are loaded, use the latter 772 (CPAN RT #26152) 773 - Allows SSL to work much more reliably: (CPAN RT #23372) 774 - Allow text/vnd.wap.wml and application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text in 775 content-type field in lwp-request (CPAN RT #26151) 776 - Add default media type for XML in LWP::MediaTypes (CPAN RT #21093) 777 - Added chunked test by Andreas J. Koenig 778 7795.805 2005-12-08 780 - HTTP::Date: The str2time function returned wrong values for years in the 781 early 20th century, because timelocal() actually expects the year to be 782 provided on a different scale than what localtime() returns. 783 - HTTP::Headers can now be constructed with field names that repeat. The 784 $h->header function now also accept repeating field names and can also 785 remove headers if passed undef as value. 786 - HTML::Form: The parse method now takes hash style optional arguments and 787 the old verbose behaviour is now off by default. 788 - HTML::Form: Accept <select multiple=""> for compatibility with other 789 browsers. Patch by Josh Rai <josh@rai.name>. 790 - HTML::Form: Sane handling of 'disabled' for ListInput. Based on patch by 791 Joao Lopes <developer@st3tailor.com.br>. 792 - HTTP::Negotiate: Fixed matching of partial language tags. Dan Kubb. 793 - HTTP::Response: The as_string method now returns a status line that 794 doesn't add the "official" code name in the message field. This improves 795 the ability to round-trip response objects via 796 HTTP::Response->parse($res->as_string) and makes the first line of the 797 string returned agree with $res->status_line. 798 - Net::HTTP: The host attribute can now be set undef in order to suppress 799 this header for HTTP/1.0 requests. 800 - Net::HTTP: The default Host: header does not include the port number if 801 it is the default (80 for plain HTTP). Some servers get confused by this. 802 - Net::HTTP: Ignore bogus Content-Length headers. Don't get confused by 803 leading or trailing whitespace. 804 - LWP::Protocol::http: More efficient sending of small PUT/POST requests by 805 trying harder to pass off the whole request in a single call to syswrite. 806 - lwp-request now give better error messages if you used the -o option 807 without having the HTML-Tree distribution installed. Also document this 808 dependency. 809 8105.804 2005-12-06 811 - HTTP::Message->parse did not work when the first line of the body was 812 something that looked like a header. 813 - HTTP::Header::Auth needs HTTP::Headers to be loaded before it replace 814 its functions. 815 - LWP::Protocol::nntp improvements by Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi>: 816 - Support the nntp: scheme. 817 - Support hostname in news: and nntp: URIs. 818 - Close connection and preserve headers also in non-OK responses. 819 - HEAD support for URIs identifying a newsgroup. 820 - Comment spelling fixes. 821 - Fix quotes in Net::HTTP example. 822 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=283916 823 - Detect EOF when expecting a chunk header. Should address the warnings 824 shown in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=286775 825 - WWW::RobotRules: Improved parsing of not strictly valid robots.txt files 826 contributed by <Matthew.van.Eerde@hbinc.com>. 827 - Makefile.PL: Set name to LWP so that the .packlist ends up in the 828 expected place. 829 8305.803 2004-12-11 831 - HTTP::Message: $mess->decoded_content sometimes had the side effect of 832 destroying $mess->content. 833 - HTTP::Message: $mess->decoded_content failed for 834 "Content-Encoding: deflate" if the content was not in the zlib-format 835 as specified for the HTTP protocol. Microsoft got this wrong, so we 836 have to support raw deflate bytes as well. 837 - HTTP::Response->parse don't require the protocol to be specified any more. 838 This allows HTTP::Response->parse($resp->as_string) to round-trip. Patch 839 by Harald Joerg <haj@oook.m.uunet.de>. 840 - HTTP::Response: $resp->base might now return undef. Previously it would 841 croak if there was no associated request Harald Joerg 842 - HTML::Form now support <label> for check- and radio boxes. Dan Kubb 843 - Make HTTP::Daemon subclassable, patch by Kees Cook <kees@osdl.org>. 844 - lwp-download allow save directory to be specified. Radoslaw Zielinski 845 - lwp-download will validate filename derived from server controlled data 846 and will fail if something looks not quite right. 847 8485.802 2004-11-30 849 - The HTTP::Message object now has a decoded_content() method. This will 850 return content after Content-Encodings and charsets have been decoded. 851 - Compress::Zlib is now a prerequisite module. 852 - HTTP::Request::Common: The POST() function created an invalid 853 Content-Type header for file uploads with no parameters. 854 - Net::HTTP: Allow Transfer-Encoding with trailing whitespace. 855 <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=3929> 856 - Net::HTTP: Don't allow empty content to be treated as a valid HTTP/0.9 857 response. <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=4581> 858 <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=6883> 859 - File::Protocol::file: Fixup directory links in HTML generated for 860 directories. Patch by Moshe Kaminsky <kaminsky@math.huji.ac.il>. 861 - Makefile.PL will try to discover misconfigured systems that can't talk to 862 themselves and disable tests that depend on this. 863 - Makefile.PL will now default to 'n' when asking about whether to install 864 the "GET", "HEAD", "POST" programs. There has been too many name 865 clashes with these common names. 866 8675.801 2004-11-12 868 - HTTP::Message improved content/content_ref interaction. Fixes 869 DYNAMIC_FILE_UPLOAD and other uses of code content in requests. 870 - HTML::Form: 871 - Handle clicking on nameless image. 872 - Don't let $form->click invoke a disabled submit button. 873 - HTTP::Cookies could not handle an "old-style" cookie named "Expires". 874 - HTTP::Headers work-around for thread safety issue in perl <= 5.8.4. 875 - HTTP::Request::Common improved documentation. 876 - LWP::Protocol: Check that we can write to the file specified in 877 $ua->request(..., $file) or $ua->mirror. 878 - LWP::UserAgent clone() dies if proxy was not set. Andy Lester 879 - HTTP::Methods now avoid "use of uninitialized"-warning when server 880 replies with incomplete status line. 881 - lwp-download will now actually tell you why it aborts if it runs out of 882 disk space of fails to write some other way. 883 - WWW::RobotRules: only display warning when running under 'perl -w' and 884 show which robots.txt file they correspond to. Bill Moseley. 885 - WWW::RobotRules: Don't empty cache when agent() is called if the agent 886 name does not change. Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi>. 887 8885.800 2004-06-16 889 - HTML::Form will allow individual menu entries to be disabled. This was 890 needed to support <input type=radio disabled value=foo> and 891 <select><option disabled>foo. 892 - HTML::Form now avoids name clashes between the <select> and <option> 893 attributes. 894 - HTML::Form now implicitly close <select> elements when it sees another 895 input or </form>. This is closer to the MSIE behaviour. 896 - HTML::Form will now "support" keygen-inputs. It will not calculate a key 897 by itself. The user will have to set its value for it to be returned by 898 the form. 899 - HTTP::Headers now special case field names that start with a ':'. This is 900 used as an escape mechanism when you need the header names to not go 901 through canonicalization. It means that you can force LWP to use a 902 specific casing and even underscores in header names. The ugly 903 $TRANSLATE_UNDERSCORE global has been undocumented as a result of this. 904 - HTTP::Message will now allow an external 'content_ref' to be set. This 905 can for instance be used to let HTTP::Request objects pick up content 906 data from some scalar variable without having to copy it. 907 - HTTP::Request::Common. The individual parts will no longer have a 908 Content-Length header for file uploads. This improves compatibility 909 with "normal" browsers. 910 - LWP::Simple doc patch for getprint. Yitzchak 911 Scott-Thoennes <sthoenna@efn.org>. 912 - LWP::UserAgent: New methods default_header() and default_headers(). These 913 can be used to set up headers that are automatically added to requests 914 as they are sent. This can for instance be used to initialize various 915 Accept headers. 916 - Various typo fixes by Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi>. 917 - Fixed test failure under perl-5.005. 918 - LWP::Protocol::loopback: This is a new protocol handler that works like 919 the HTTP TRACE method, it will return the request provided to it. This 920 is sometimes useful for testing. It can for instance be invoked by 921 setting the 'http_proxy' environment variable to 'loopback:'. 922 9235.79 2004-04-13 924 - HTML::Form now exposes the 'readonly' and 'disabled' attribute for inputs. 925 This allows your program to simulate JavaScript code that modifies 926 these attributes. 927 - RFC 2616 says that http: referer should not be sent with https: requests. 928 The lwp-rget program, the $req->referer method and the redirect handling 929 code now try to enforce this. By Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi>. 930 - WWW::RobotRules now look for the string found in robots.txt as a case 931 insensitive substring from its own User-Agent string, not the other way 932 around. Patch by Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi>. 933 - HTTP::Headers: New method 'header_field_names' that return a list of 934 names as suggested by its name. 935 - HTTP::Headers: $h->remove_content_headers will now also remove the 936 headers "Allow", "Expires" and "Last-Modified". These are also part of 937 the set that RFC 2616 denote as Entity Header Fields. 938 - HTTP::Headers: $h->content_type is now more careful in removing embedded 939 space in the returned value. It also now returns all the parameters as 940 the second return value as documented. 941 - HTTP::Headers: $h->header() now croaks. It used to silently do nothing. 942 - HTTP::Headers: Documentation tweaks. Documented a few bugs discovered 943 during testing. 944 - Typo fixes to the documentation by Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi>. 945 - Updated tests. 946 9475.78 2004-04-07 948 - Removed stray Data::Dump reference from test suite. 949 - Added the parse(), clear(), parts() and add_part() methods to 950 HTTP::Message. The HTTP::MessageParts module of 5.77 is no more. 951 - Added clear() and remove_content_headers() methods to HTTP::Headers. 952 - The as_string() method of HTTP::Message now appends a newline if called 953 without arguments and the non-empty content does not end with a newline. 954 This ensures better compatibility with 5.76 and older versions 955 of libwww-perl. 956 - Use case insensitive lookup of hostname in $ua->credentials. Patch by 957 Andrew Pimlott <andrew@pimlott.net>. 958 9595.77 2004-04-06 960 - LWP::Simple did not handle redirects properly when the "Location" header 961 used uncommon letter casing. Patch by Ward Vandewege <ward@pong.be>. 962 - LWP::UserAgent passed the wrong request to redirect_ok(). Patch by Ville 963 Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi>. 964 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=5828 965 - LWP did not handle URLs like http://www.example.com?foo=bar properly. 966 - LWP::RobotUA construct now accept key/value arguments in the same way as 967 LWP::UserAgent. Based on patch by Andy Lester <andy@petdance.com>. 968 - LWP::RobotUA did not parse robots.txt files that contained "Disallow:" 969 using uncommon letter casing. Patch by Liam Quinn <liam@htmlhelp.com>. 970 - WWW::RobotRules now allow leading space when parsing robots.txt file as 971 suggested by Craig Macdonald <craig@freeasphost.co.uk>. We now also 972 allow space before the colon. 973 - WWW::RobotRules did not handle User-Agent names that use complex version 974 numbers. Patch by Liam Quinn <liam@htmlhelp.com>. 975 - Case insensitive handling of hosts and domain names in HTTP::Cookies. 976 https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=4530 977 - The bundled media.types file now match video/quicktime with the .mov 978 extension, as suggested by Michel Koppelaar <Michel.Koppelaar@kb.nl>. 979 - Experimental support for composite messages, currently implemented by the 980 HTTP::MessageParts module. Joshua Hoblitt <jhoblitt@ifa.hawaii.edu>. 981 - Fixed libscan in Makefile.PL. Patch by Andy Lester <andy@petdance.com>. 982 - The HTTP::Message constructor now accept a plain array reference as 983 its $headers argument. 984 - The return value of the HTTP::Message as_string() method now better 985 conforms to the HTTP wire layout. No additional "\n" are appended to 986 the as_string value for HTTP::Request and HTTP::Response. The 987 HTTP::Request as_string now replace missing method or URI with "-" 988 instead of "[NO METHOD]" and "[NO URI]". We don't want values with 989 spaces in them, because it makes it harder to parse. 990 9915.76 2003-11-21 992 - Revised handling of redirects. 993 - clear our content and content headers if we rewrite request as GET 994 based on patch by Steven Butler <stevenb@kjross.com.au>. 995 - pass $response to redirect_ok() 996 - Support cpan:-URLs. Try 'lwp-download cpan:src/latest.tar.gz' :) 997 - Fix test failure in 't/html/form.t' for perl5.005. 998 9995.75 2003-10-26 1000 - Reworked LWP::UserAgent, HTTP::Request and HTTP::Response documentation. 1001 - other documentation tweaks. 1002 10035.74 2003-10-23 1004 - Improved lwp-download program: 1005 - set mtime if Last-Modified header reported by server 1006 - better prompts 1007 - avoid warnings when aborted at the wrong time 1008 - Collected all contributions in the AUTHORS file and also added an AUTHORS section to the LWP manpage. 1009 - Style tweaks to all modules. Move POD after __END__ and uncuddled elses. 1010 10115.73 2003-10-19 1012 - Takanori Ugai <ugai@jp.fujitsu.com> found that 'max_redirect' introduced 1013 in 5.72 was broken and provided a patch for that. 1014 - Not all ftp servers return 550 responses when trying to to RETR a 1015 directory. Microsoft's IIS is one of those. Patch provided by Thomas 1016 Lotterer <thl@dev.de.cw.com>. 1017 - Some documentation tweaks. 1018 10195.72 2003-10-15 1020 - Requests for some non-HTTP URLs would fail if the cookie_jar was enabled. 1021 The HTTP::Cookies::add_cookie_header now ignore non-HTTP requests. 1022 - The new local/http test failed on Windows because of a missing binmode(). 1023 - Suppress Client-SSL-Warning warning header when Crypt::SSLeay is able to 1024 verify the peer certificate. Joshua Chamas <joshua@chamas.com>. 1025 - HTTP::Request::Common::POST did not add a 'Content-Length' header when 1026 the content ended up empty. by Brian J. Murrell. 1027 - Internally generated responses now contain a text/plain part that repeats 1028 the status line. They also have a "Client-Warning" header that can be 1029 used to differentiate these responses from real server responses. 1030 - LWP::UserAgent now deals with 303 and 307 redirects. The behaviour of 302 1031 redirects has also changed to be like 303; i.e. change the method to be 1032 "GET". This is what most browsers do. Tom Hughes <thh@cyberscience.com> 1033 - LWP::UserAgent now implements a 'max_redirect' attribute with a default 1034 value of 7. This should also fix the problem where redirects to the 1035 same URL to get a cookie didn't work. Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>. 1036 - NTLM authentication should continue to fail if the Authen::NTLM module 1037 can't be loaded. LWP used to think the scheme was available as soon as 1038 the module stash showed up. Not it looks for the authenticate method to 1039 be defined. Patch by Jan Dubois. 1040 - lwp-download will not try to rename *.tbz and *.tar.bz2 to match the 1041 reported content type. Robin Barker <Robin.Barker@npl.co.uk>. 1042 - HTTP::Cookies::Netscape documentation fix by Sean M. Burke. 1043 - HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft documentation fix by Johnny Lee. 1044 - The code that tries to avoid installing 'HEAD' on top of 'head' on 1045 systems like Mac OS was further improved to look in 1046 $Config{installscript} instead of $Config{sitebin}. Patch provided by 1047 Ken Williams <ken@mathforum.org>. 1048 10495.71 2003-10-14 1050 - Support open-ended Range: header for ftp requests. Patch by Matthew 1051 Eldridge <eldridge@Graphics.Stanford.EDU>. 1052 - lwp-request now prints unsuccessful responses in the same way as 1053 successful ones. The status will still indicate failures. 1054 Steve Hay <steve.hay@uk.radan.com>. 1055 - HTML::Form's dump now also print alternative value names. 1056 - HTML::Form will now pick up the phrase after an <input type=radio> or 1057 <input type=checkbox> and use that as the name of the checked value. 1058 - HTML::Form's find_input now returns all inputs that match in array 1059 context. Based on patch by Mark Stosberg <markstos@cpan.org> in 1060 <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=3320>. 1061 - HTTP::Daemon's send_file() method did not work when given a file name. 1062 Patch by Dave W. Smith <dws@postcognitive.com>. 1063 - HTTP::Daemon is less strict about field names in the request headers is 1064 received. The Norton Internet Security firewall apparently likes to 1065 send requests with a header called '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'. Further details 1066 in <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2531>. 1067 - LWP::Protocol::http assumed $1 would be meaningful without testing the 1068 outcome of the match. This sometimes produced an extra garbage 1069 Authentication header. Based on the patch by <bai@dreamarts.co.jp> 1070 in <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=1994>. 1071 - LWP::Protocol::mailto will try harder to locate the sendmail program as 1072 suggested in <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2363>. Also 1073 let $ENV{SENDMAIL} override the search. 1074 - Patch to enable OS/2 build by Ilya Zakharevich. 1075 10765.70 2003-10-13 1077 - File::Listing::apache by Slaven Rezic <slaven@rezic.de> 1078 - HEAD requests now work properly for ftp: URLs. 1079 Patch by Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi>. 1080 - LWP::UserAgent: protocols_allowed() and protocols_forbidden() are now 1081 case-insensitive. Patch by Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi>. 1082 - Avoid warning from HTTP::Date on certain invalid dates. Patch by 1083 David Dick <david_dick@iprimus.com.au>. 1084 - HTML::Form::param() is an alternative interface for inspecting/modifying 1085 the form values. It resembles the interface of CGI. 1086 - HTML::Form docs updated by Martin Thurn <mthurn@northropgrumman.com>. 1087 - HTML::Form will treat any unknown input types as text input. This appears 1088 to be what most browsers do. 1089 - HTML::Form::parse() can now take a HTTP::Response object as argument. 1090 - The "checkbox" and "option" inputs of HTML::Form can now be turned on with 1091 the new check() method. 1092 - The inputs of HTML::Form can now track alternative value names and allow 1093 values to be set by these names as well. Currently this is only 1094 supported for "option" inputs. 1095 - HTML::Form's dump() method now print the name of the form if present. 1096 10975.69 2003-01-24 1098 - Include lwptut.pod contributed by Sean M. Burke C<sburke@cpan.org>. 1099 - The lwp-request aliases GET, HEAD, POST where installed when no program 1100 should be. Fixed by David Miller <dave@justdave.net>. 1101 - lwp-rget --help don't print double usage any more. 1102 - HTTP::Header::Util is now more reluctant to put quotes around token vals. 1103 - Net::HTTP: Avoid warning on unexpected EOF when reading chunk header. 1104 11055.68 2003-01-02 1106 - Fix test failure for t/html/form.t when running under perl-5.8.0. 1107 11085.67 2003-01-01 1109 - HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft contributed by Johnny Lee <typo_pl@hotmail.com>. 1110 This module makes it possible for LWP to share MSIE's cookies. 1111 - HTML::Form supports file upload better now. There are some new methods on 1112 that kind of input; file(), filename(), content() and headers(). 1113 - Removed unfinished test that depended on Data::Dump. 1114 - Net::HTTP avoids exceptions in read_response_headers() with laxed option. 1115 It now always assumes HTTP/0.9 on unexpected responses. 1116 - HTML::Form documentation reworked. 1117 11185.66 2002-12-20 1119 - Various patches from Sean M. Burke. Most of them to match up LWP with 1120 the "Perl & LWP" book. 1121 - LWP::DebugFile module contributed by Sean. 1122 - LWP::Authen::Ntml contributed by James Tillman. 1123 - HTTP::Daemon patch for Alpha by <shildreth@emsphone.com> 1124 - The format_chunk() and write_chunk() methods of Net::HTTP did not work. 1125 Bug spotted by Yale Huang <yale@sdf-eu.org>. 1126 - The Client-Peer response header is back. 1127 11285.65 2002-05-31 1129 - Make HTTP::Date compatible with perl 5.8. 1130 - Try to avoid to default to overwriting /usr/bin/head on MacOS X when the 1131 perl install prefix is /usr/bin. 1132 - HTTP::Cookies fix for parsing of Netscape cookies file on MS Windows. 1133 Patch by Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>. 1134 - HTTP::Negotiate doc patch from Edward Avis <epa98@doc.ic.ac.uk>. 1135 11365.64 2002-02-09 1137 - Simplified the Makefile.PL: 1138 - the scripts are not longer *.PL files 1139 - don't try to make symlinks for GET, HEAD, POST as that has not 1140 worked for a long time 1141 - the GET, HEAD, POST aliases for lwp-request should now work on Win 1142 - HTTP::Cookies: 1143 - added 'clear_temporary_cookies'; Mike Schilli <schilli1@pacbell.net>. 1144 - trailing space in old cookie parameters not ignored; Ivan Panchenko 1145 - protect against $SIG{__DIE__}; Adam Newby <adam@NewsNow.co.uk> 1146 - LWP::Authen::Digest: 1147 - abort digest auth session if fails repeatedly with the same user/pass 1148 - MacOS portability patches to test suite by Chris Nandor <pudge@pobox.com>. 1149 11505.63 2001-12-14 1151 - HTTP::Negotiate: Deal with parameter names in a case insensitive way. Put 1152 a little weight on the order of features in the Accept headers. 1153 - LWP::UserAgent: make sure that the 'request' attribute is always set on 1154 the returned response. 1155 - LWP::Protocol::http will now allow certain bad headers in the responses 1156 it reads. The bad headers end up in the header 'Client-Junk'. 1157 - Net::HTTP new options to the 'read_response_headers' method. The option 1158 'laxed' will make it ignore bad header lines. The option 'junk_out' can 1159 be used to pass in an array reference. Junk header lines are pushed 1160 onto it. 1161 - Net::HTTP::Methods: fixed the internal zlib_ok() to also return the 1162 correct value the first time. 1163 - LWP::Protocol::http: Ensure that we don't read until select has said it's 1164 ok since we have put the socket in non-blocking mode. Previously this 1165 could happen if you set the 'timeout' attribute of the user agent to 0. 1166 - LWP::Authen::Digest now use Digest::MD5 instead of MD5. 1167 - Some adjustments to Makefile.PL to figure out if Compress::Zlib is 1168 available and adjust the test suite accordingly. 1169 11705.62 2001-11-21 1171 - The $VERSION of LWP::UserAgent wrapped around. This confused the CPAN 1172 indexer. Bumped the major number to 2 to fix this. 1173 - Net::HTTP did not work well on perl5.003. The PeerHost argument to 1174 IO::Socket::INET was not recognized, so we had to use PeerAddr instead. 1175 The syswrite() method also required a length argument. 1176 - Net::HTTP did not deal with transfer encoding tokens in a case-insensitive 1177 way. Patch by Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>. 1178 - The jigsaw-chunk test failed on MacOS because "\n" is different. Patch 1179 by Chris Nandor <pudge@pobox.com>. 1180 11815.61 2001-11-16 1182 - LWP::Protocol::http did not invoke its _fixup_header method. The result 1183 was that the 'Host' header was wrong when going through a proxy server. 1184 - The live Google test is gone. They blocked us. 1185 - The guts of Net::HTTP has moved to Net::HTTP::Methods. 1186 - Net::HTTP now has limits on the size of the header; set by default. 1187 - New module Net::HTTPS. 1188 - Documentation tweaks. 1189 - HTTP::Headers: The 'remove_header' method now return the values of the 1190 fields removed as suggested by Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>. Also a 1191 typo fix by Blair. 1192 - HTTP::Message: The delegation via &AUTOLOAD should be slightly faster 1193 now. It will install a real forwarding function the first time it is 1194 called for each HTTP::Headers method. 1195 - LWP::UserAgent: Don't forward 'Cookie' headers on redirect. Patch by 1196 Steve A Fink <steve@fink.com>. 1197 - LWP::Protocol::http has been reorganized to make it simpler to subclass 1198 it. Other minor changes to it include: 1199 - Client-Warning is gone 1200 - Client-Request-Num renamed to Client-Response-Num 1201 - A 'Transfer-Encoding' header is rewritten into a 1202 'Client-Transfer-Encoding' header. 1203 - LWP::Protocol::https is completely redone. 1204 12055.60 2001-10-26 1206 - Made HTTP/1.1 the default. The old HTTP/1.0 module has been renamed as 1207 LWP::Protocol::http10. There is an environment variable; 1208 PERL_LWP_USE_HTTP_10 that can be set to have LWP use the old drivers. 1209 - Deal with "100 continue" responses even when not requested by and Expect 1210 header in the request. MS IIS is eager to send this kind of response. 1211 - For HTTP/1.1 over SSL there was a problem with the underlying SSL 1212 libraries if the socket was configured to non-blocking mode. Disable 1213 this for https. By Michael Thompson <mickey@berkeley.innomedia.com> 1214 - Support the Range header for ftp:// reqs. David Coppit <david@coppit.org>. 1215 - Rearrange Bundle::LWP on request from Chris Nandor. 1216 - HTTP::Cookies: Allow a domain like .foo.com match host "foo.com". 1217 By Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@lrde.epita.fr> 1218 - For redirects make sure Host header is not copied to the new request. 1219 - The HTML::HeadParser is not loaded until actually needed. 1220 - Net::HTTP should now work with perl5.005 by a simple tweak to 1221 require IO::Socket::INET 1222 - WWW::RobotRules::AnyDBM: Clear database on open. Some DBM implementations 1223 don't support the O_TRUNC flag properly. Radu Greab <radu@netsoft.ro>. 1224 12255.53_97 2001-09-19 (TRIAL) 1226 - LWP::Protocol::http11: fix socket leak. Because we managed to set up a 1227 circular reference within the sockets objects they stayed around forever. 1228 - LWP::UserAgent: Split up simple_request into prepare_request and 1229 send_request. Patch contributed by Keiichiro Nagano <knagano@sodan.org> 1230 - LWP::Protocol::http: Pass all header data to LWP::Debug::conns. Martijn. 1231 - LWP::UserAgent: Sean fixed a Cut&Paste error. 1232 - HTTP::Cookies: avoid pack("c",...) warning from bleadperl. 1233 12345.53_96 2001-08-27 (TRIAL) 1235 - HTTP/1.1 support also for https. by Doug MacEachern <dougm@covalent.net> 1236 - The HTTP/1.1 modules are now enabled by default. Hope that will give them 1237 more testing than they otherwise would have gotten. 1238 - HTTP::Daemon's accept now has same behaviour as IO::Socket's accept in 1239 list context. Fixed by Blair Zajac <blair@gps.caltech.edu>. 1240 - More argument sanity checking in HTTP::Request->uri and 1241 LWP::UserAgent->simple_request. Patch by Sean M. Burke. 1242 - HTTP::Protocol::http. short writes. Norton Allen <allen@huarp.harvard.edu> 1243 - HTTP::Protocol::http11: Deal with newlines in header values. 1244 - Net::HTTP: call sysread (instead of xread) when more data is required. 1245 12465.53_95 2001-08-06 (TRIAL) 1247 - Fix HTTP::Cookies where there is a mix of Set-Cookie and Set-Cookie2 1248 headers. In that case we used to ignore all Set-Cookie headers. Now we 1249 only ignore those Set-Cookie headers that reference the same cookie as 1250 a Set-Cookie2 header. 1251 - HTTP::Request, HTTP::Response will by default now use "URI" class, instead 1252 of "URI::URL", when constructing its URI objects. This has a potential 1253 for breaking existing code as URI::URL objects had some extra methods 1254 that external code might depend upon. 1255 - Patches by Sean M. Burke: 1256 - Fix treatment of language tags in HTTP::Negotiate 1257 - Avoid trailing newline in $response->message 1258 - HTTP::Response clarifications 1259 - LWP::Simple deals with non-absolute redirects "correctly" now. 1260 - Net::HTTP does not try to load Compress::Zlib until it is needed. 1261 - Net::HTTP documentation has been updated. 1262 12635.53_94 2001-05-05 (TRIAL) 1264 - Sean M. Burke's update to LWP::UserAgent: 1265 - updated redirect_ok behaviour 1266 - new convenience methods: get/head/post/put 1267 - protocols_allowed/protocols_forbidden 1268 - LWP::Protocol::nogo (new module) 1269 - Added digest auth test against Jigsaw 1270 - Fixed a 'use of uninitialized'-warning in the handling of digest auth. 1271 - Net::HTTP updates: 1272 - new option: SendTE 1273 - support transfer-encoding 'deflate' and 'gzip' (when Compress::Zlib 1274 is available). 1275 - new methods: format_chunk, format_chunk_eof 1276 - use -1 (instead of "0E0" as signal that no data was available, 1277 but this was not EOF). 1278 12795.53_93 2001-04-28 (TRIAL) 1280 - Makefile.PL now asks some questions 1281 - Added live tests for the new HTTP/1.1 support 1282 - LWP::MemberMixin: make it possible to set a value to the 'undef' value. 1283 - Net::HTTP: 1284 - transparent support for 'deflate' and 'gzip' transfer encodings 1285 (need to have the Compress::Zlib module installed for this to work). 1286 12875.53_92 2001-04-25 (TRIAL) 1288 - LWP::Protocol::ftp now support keep-alives too. The command connection 1289 will stay open if keep-alives are enabled. 1290 - LWP::Protocol::http11 various fixes: 1291 - chunked request content did not work 1292 - monitor connection while sending request content 1293 - deal with Expect: 100-continue 1294 - LWP::RobotUA: Protect host_port call. Not all URIs have this method. 1295 12965.53_91 2001-04-20 (TRIAL) 1297 - Introduced LWP::ConnCache module. Works similar to HTTP::Cookies, it that 1298 it takes effect if associated with the $ua. 1299 - The handling of $ua->max_size changed to make 0 mean 0 (not unlimited). A 1300 value of undef means no limit. The X-Content-Base header is gone. I 1301 hope nobody relies on it. It might come back if people start to scream. 1302 There is a new Client-Aborted header instead. 1303 - The Range header generated for $ua->max_size had an off-by-one error. A 1304 range of "0-1" means 2 bytes. 1305 - The LWP::UserAgent constructor now takes configuration arguments. 1306 - Keep-alive and the new HTTP/1.1 module can now be simply enabled with 1307 something like: LWP::UserAgent->new(keep_alive => 1); 1308 - New method $ua->conn_cache to set up and access the associated connection 1309 manager. 1310 - If the string passed to $ua->agent() ends with space then the 1311 "libwww-perl/#.##" string is automatically appended. 1312 - New method $ua->_agent 1313 - Passing a plain hash to $ua->cookie_jar automatically loads HTTP::Cookies 1314 and initialise an object using the hash content as constructor arguments. 1315 - LWP::Protocol::http11 now use the conn_cache of the $ua. 1316 - LWP::Protocol::http11 now added a few new Client- headers. 1317 - LWP::Protocol avoid keeping the connection alive if $ua->max_size limit 1318 prevents the whole body content from being read. 1319 - Net::HTTP updates: 1320 - new methods: write_chunk(), write_chunk_eof() 1321 - reset state properly when a new body is read. 1322 - always set read buffer empty on eof 1323 - doc update 1324 - WWW::RobotRules patch by Liam Quinn <liam@htmlhelp.com>: 1325 - Always qualify netloc with port. 1326 - Reverse User-Agent substring matching. 1327 13285.53_90 2001-04-18 (TRIAL) 1329 - Note: This is a developer only release. Not for production use. 1330 - LWP::Protocol::http11 now does keep-alives by default. Still need to 1331 figure out what interface to provide at the $ua level. 1332 - LWP::Protocol::http11 deals with CODE content in request. 1333 - Net::HTTP updated: 1334 - added format_request() method 1335 - added _rbuf and _rbuf_length methods 1336 - read_response_headers does not return protocol version any more. 1337 - peer_http_version method did not work because of typo. 1338 - documentation added 1339 - New module Net::HTTP::NB. This is a Net::HTTP subclass that is better 1340 suited for multiplexing as it is able to do no-blocking reads of headers 1341 and entity body chunks. 1342 - HTTP::Request: Protect $request->uri against evil $SIG{__DIE__} handlers. 1343 - Some reorganisation in how stuff is passed from $ua to protocol object. 1344 The $ua is now passed in so protocol objects might store start in it. 1345 - The $ua->max_size default is now 0. 1346 - The $ua->clone method avoids sharing of proxy settings between the old 1347 and the new. 1348 - This file is renamed to 'Changes' (used to be 'ChangeLog'). 1349 13505.53 2001-04-10 1351 - LWP::Simple::get() could sometimes return nothing on failure in list 1352 context. Now it always returns 'undef'. 1353 - HTTP::Cookies does not request 2 dots on domain names any more. New 1354 option to hide the Cookie2 header. Cookie2 header now quote the version 1355 number. Updated reference to RFC 2965. 1356 - Support for embedded userinfo in http proxy URIs. It means that you know 1357 can set up your proxy with things like: 1358 http_proxy="http://proxyuser:proxypass@proxyhost:port" Patch by 1359 John Klar <j.klar@xpedite.com>. 1360 - Experimental HTTP/1.1 support. New module called Net::HTTP that provide 1361 the lower level interface and a LWP::Protocol::http11 module that 1362 builds on it. The HTTP/1.1 protocol module must be loaded and 1363 registered explicitly, otherwise the old and trustworthy HTTP/1.0 1364 module will be used. 1365 - LWP::Protocol::GHTTP will try to use the get_headers() methods so that it 1366 can actually extract all the headers. 1367 13685.52 2001-03-29 1369 - HTTP::Header: new method $h->init_header() that will only set the header 1370 if it is not already set. Some shuffling around in the code. 1371 - LWP::UserAgent will not override 'User-Agent', 'From' or 'Range' headers 1372 if they are explicitly set in the request passed in. 1373 - HTML::Form tries to optimize parsing be restricting the tags that are 1374 reported by HTML::Parser. Will need HTML::Parser v3.19_93 or better for 1375 this to actually have any effect. 1376 - LWP::Protocol::ftp now deals with path parameters again. It means that 1377 you can append ";type=a" to ftp-URI and it will download the document 1378 in ASCII mode. 1379 - If the server output multiple Location headers on a redirect, ignore all 1380 but the first one. 1381 - Extract cookies failed on request URIs with empty paths. This was only 1382 triggered if you used URI objects directly in scripts. 1383 - This change was actually part of 5.51: Fix qop="auth" handling for Digest 1384 authentication. Patch by Dave Dunkin <dave_dunkin@hotmail.com>. 1385 13865.51 2001-03-14 1387 - SECURITY FIX: 1388 If LWP::UserAgent::env_proxy is called in a CGI environment, the 1389 case-insensitivity when looking for "http_proxy" permits "HTTP_PROXY" 1390 to be found, but this can be trivially set by the web client using the 1391 "Proxy:" header. The fix applied is that $ENV{HTTP_PROXY} is not longer 1392 honored for CGI scripts. The CGI_HTTP_PROXY environment variable can be 1393 used instead. Problem reported by Randal L. Schwartz. 1394 - NOTE: It is recommended that everybody that use LWP::UserAgent (including 1395 LWP::Simple) in CGI scripts upgrade to this release. 1396 - Explicit setting of action on HTML::Form had no effect because of a code 1397 typo. Patch by BooK <book@netcourrier.com>. 1398 - HTTP::Daemon: The CONNECT method need special treatment because it does 1399 not provide a URI as argument (just a "hostname:port"). The non-upward 1400 compatibility warning is that you must now call $request->url->host_port 1401 to get the host/port string for CONNECT, rather than calling 1402 $request->url and using the entire string. Based on patch from 1403 Randal L. Schwartz <merlyn@stonehenge.com> 1404 - HTTP::Daemon: Create self URL based on $self->sockaddr. This works better 1405 when LocalAddr is used to specify the port number. Based on patch from 1406 Ben Low <ben@snrc.uow.edu.au>. 1407 - Avoid potential '<FILE> chunk 1' messages at the end of the 1408 response 'message'. 1409 14105.50 2001-01-12 1411 - Fix for test cases that failed because of URI-1.10 now encode space as '+' 1412 instead of '%20. Patch by Christian Gilmore <cgilmore@tivoli.com>. 1413 - Makefile.PL: Require URI-1.10. 1414 - HTTP::Daemon now accepts any non-space character as method name on the 1415 request line. It used to fail on methods like "M-POST" because it only 1416 allowed \w-chars. 1417 - HTTP::Date now allow fractional seconds in ISO date formats. Based on 1418 patch from Mark D. Anderson <mda@discerning.com> 1419 - HTTP::Request::Common will now calculate Content-length even if 1420 $DYNAMIC_FILE_UPLOAD is set. Lindley, Lee T <Lee.Lindley@viasystems.com> 1421 14225.49 2000-12-31 1423 - HTML::Form: Use croak() instead of die. Implement $f->possible_values. 1424 Avoid use of undef value warnings. 1425 - HTTP::Cookies: fix epath issue. Make it work for URI::http as the 1426 uri-attribute of HTTP::Request object 1427 - HTTP::Date: Allow ignored timezone info in parenthesis. Patch by 1428 Sander van Zoest <sander@covalent.net>. 1429 - Fix calculation of non-GMT timezones (wrong sign). Patch by 1430 KONISHI Katsuhiro <konishi@din.or.jp>. 1431 - HTTP::Response: Let $res->base() absolutize the URI. Based on bug report 1432 from Hans de Graaff <hans@degraaff.org>. 1433 - Fixed minor doc typos in HTTP::Headers::Util and LWP::UserAgent. 1434 - HTTP::Request::Common: Support boundary spec from client. 1435 - LWP::Simple: Avoid trivial_http_get when @ in authority part of URI 1436 - LWP::Authen::Digest: Need query in URI param. <ronald@innovation.ch> 1437 - LWP::Protocol::http: unescape user/pass if they are specified in the URI. 1438 - Added LWP::Protocol::GHTTP. This allow LWP to use the HTTP::GHTTP module 1439 as the low level HTTP driver. 1440 14415.48 2000-04-09 1442 - README.SSL update by Marko Asplund <aspa@hip.fi> 1443 - Added cookie example to lwpcook.pod 1444 - HTTP::Date::str2time returns undef on failure instead of an empty list as 1445 suggested by Markus B Krüger <markusk@pvv.org> 1446 - $request->uri($uri) will now always store a copy of the $uri. 1447 - HTTP::Status: Added status codes from RFC 2616 and RFC 2518 (WebDAV) 1448 - LWP::RobotUA will not parse robots.txt unless content type and content 1449 sample looks right. 1450 - LWP::UserAgent: Deal with multiple WWW-Authenticate headers. Patch by 1451 Hugo <hv@crypt.compulink.co.uk> 1452 - $ua->proxy can now return the old proxy settings without destroying the 1453 old one. Based on patch by Benjamin Low <ben@snrc.uow.edu.au> 1454 - LWP::Protocol::http update 1455 - don't terminate header parsing on bad headers 1456 - extra_sock_opts 1457 - preparations for keep alive support 1458 - method CONNECT 1459 - WWW::RobotRules deal with various absolute URIs in the disallow lines. 1460 - Makefile.PL: Make sure we have HTML::TokeParser 1461 - Clean test on VMS by Charles Lane <lane@ DUPHY4.Physics.Drexel.Edu>. 1462 14635.47 1999-11-16 1464 - Added HTML::Form to the distribution. 1465 - LWP::Protocol::ftp: Make it URI.pm compatible. We broke it in 5.45. 1466 - LWP::Protocol::http: Kill any Connection header 1467 - LWP::MediaTypes: Fixed builtin html/text mapping. Added bz2 to suffixEncoding 1468 14695.46 1999-10-28 1470 - Updated mailing list address 1471 - Avoid warnings for lwp-request -t 1472 - referrer as alternative spelling for referer as suggested by tchrist. 1473 - More conservative selection of boundary for multipart messages in 1474 &HTTP::Request::Common::POST. 1475 - LWP::MediaTypes can now export &read_media_types. 1476 - Spelling corrections from Ben Tilly <Ben_Tilly@trepp.com> 1477 14785.45 1999-09-20 1479 - The LWP SSL support better explained.

Patch by Nathan Torkington <gnat@frii.com> 1484 - LWP::Protocol::ftp: Protect against empty path_segments 1485 14865.44 1999-06-25 1487 - We require URI-1.03, since this fix some query quoting stuff that 1488 HTTP::Request::Common rely upon. 1489 - 'lwp-request -HUser-Agent:foo' can now be used to set this header too. 1490 - Localize $/ to ensure standard record separator in HTTP::Cookies 1491 - LWP::UserAgent will now set the Range header in requests if the 1492 $ua->max_size attribute is set. 1493 14945.43 1999-05-09 1495 - New lwp-request command line option that allow you to put any header into 1496 the request (-H). 1497 - New HTTP::Date because of Y2K-problems with the old one. It refused to 1498 parse the ftp-listing (ls -l) dates missing year. Additional entry 1499 point is parse_date(). This function avoid any limitations caused by 1500 the time-representation (seconds since epoch). 1501 - Y2K fix to t/base/cookies.t. Netscape's original cookie example expires 1502 at 09-Nov-99. 1503 - binmode() in LWP::Protocol::file: Matt Sergeant <matt-news@sergeant.org> 1504 15055.42 1999-03-20 1506 - MacOS patches from Paul J. Schinder <schinder@leprss.gsfc.nasa.gov> 1507 - Documentation patch from Michael A.

Send back 1517 cookies to any port, and allow origin host name to be specified as 1518 domain, and still be treated as a domain. Patch from Andreas 1519 Gustafsson <gson@araneus.fi>. 1520 - HTTP::Cookies now ignore the Expires field in Set-Cookie, if the date 1521 provided can't be parsed by HTTP::Date. 1522 - HTTP::Daemon will lowercase the hostname returned from 1523 Sys::Hostname::hostname(). This avoid some test failures in the test 1524 suite for people with upper- or mixed-cased hostnames. 1525 - LWP::Protocol::gopher: IO::Socket::INET ctor did not specify 1526 Proto => 'tcp'. This made it less portable to older IO::Socket versions. 1527 - No programs installed when you build the Makefile with 1528 'perl Makefile.PL LIB=/my/lib' 1529 - LWP bundle mention Digest::MD5 instead of MD5 1530 - headers-auth.t test suite bug triggered by perl5.005_5x. Patch by 1531 Albert Dvornik <bert@genscan.com> 1532 - The local/http.t test actually did try to unlink("."). This was very 1533 confusing on systems where it succeed. 1534 15355.40_01 1998-10-12 (TRIAL) 1536 - Unbundled URI::URL modules. You now have to install the URI.pm module in 1537 order to get libwww-perl working. 1538 - Made library URI.pm compatible. Made all URI object instantiations based 1539 on $HTTP::URI_CLASS variable. 1540 - New lwp-rget option: --referer. INOUE Yoshinari <inoue@kusm.kyoto-u.ac.jp> 1541 - One more binmode() to HTTP::Daemon: by Markus Laker <mlaker@contax.co.uk> 1542 15435.36 1998-08-04 1544 - The lwp-download script will call $ua->env_proxy now. 1545 - The lwp-request script allows content types (specified with the -c option) 1546 with optional parameters like: multipart/mixed; boundary="--". 1547 - LWP::UserAgent will lowercase all authentication parameter names before 1548 passing it to the authentication module. Previous releases ignored 1549 parameters like; Realm="Foo" (because Realm contained upper case 1550 letters). 1551 - LWP::Protocol::ftp test for If-Modified-Since was wrong. 1552 - How the $url->abs method works can now be configured with the global 1553 variables $URI::URL::ABS_ALLOW_RELATIVE_SCHEME and 1554 $URI::URL::ABS_REMOTE_LEADING_DOTS. 1555 - The anonymous password guesser for ftp URLs will now call the external 1556 `whoami` program any more. Patch by Charles C. Fu <ccwf@bacchus.com>. 1557 - LWP::Protocol::http now allow dynamic requests without any Content-Length 1558 specified when Content-Type is multipart/* 1559 - HTTP::Request::Common can now upload infinite files.

Kilzer <ddkilzer@madison.dseg.ti.com>. 1564 Adds the following new options: --iis, --keepext, --tolower 1565 - LWP::MediaTypes patches from MacEachern <dougm@pobox.com>. Adds new 1566 functions: add_type(), add_encoding(), read_media_types() 1567 15685.34 1998-07-07 1569 - LWP::Protocol::ftp now try to use the MDTM command to support the 1570 Last-Modified response header as well as If-Modified-Since in requests. 1571 Original and final patch by Charles C. Fu <ccwf@bacchus.com> 1572 - $url->path_components will not escape "." any more. 1573 - WWW::RobotRules will now work for Mac text files too (lines delimited by 1574 CR only). Patch by Olly Betts <olly@muscat.co.uk> 1575 - lwp-rget support <area ..> links too. 1576 15775.33 1998-05-07 1578 - LWP::Simple::get() did try to handle too many of the 3xx codes as 1579 redirect when it bypasses full LWP. 1580 - LWP::UserAgent->mirror will now use utime(2) to set the file modification 1581 time corresponding to the Last-Modified header. 1582 - LWP::Protocol::http will not modify the HTTP::Request that it is 1583 processing. This avoids sticky Host header for redirects. 1584 - URI::Heuristic and lwp-download documentation update. 1585 15865.32 1998-04-15 1587 - Much improved HTTP::Daemon class. We now support persistent connections. 1588 Changes include: 1589 - $c->get_request can be told to return after reading and parsing 1590 headers only. 1591 - $c->reason (new method) 1592 - $c->read_buffer (new method) 1593 - $c->proto_ge (new method) 1594 - $c->force_last_request (new method) 1595 - $c->send_response now support CODE reference content and will use 1596 chunked transfer encoding for HTTP/1.1 clients. 1597 - expanded the documentation. 1598 15995.31 1998-04-10 1600 - Makefile.PL now checks that HTML::HeadParser is present. 1601 - Updated HTTP::Cookies according to draft-ietf-http-state-man-mec-08.txt 1602 It now supports the .local domain and value less 'port' attribute in 1603 the Set-Cookie2 header. 1604 - HTTP::Headers update: 1605 - $h->content_type now always return a defined value 1606 - $h->header($field) will now concatenate multi-valued header fields 1607 with "," as separator in scalar context. 1608 - HTTP::Request::Common update: 1609 - used to destroy the content of the hash/array arguments passed to 1610 its constructor functions. 1611 - allow a hash reference to specify form-data content. 1612 - you can override Content-Disposition for form-data now. 1613 - set content-encoding for files if applicable 1614 - default boundary string is now always "--000" 1615 - LWP::UserAgent will not follow more than 13 redirects automatically. 1616 16175.30 1998-04-01 1618 - Unbundled the following modules: 1619 * HTML-Parser (HTML::Parser, HTML::Entities, HTML::LinkExtor,...) 1620 * HTML-Tree (HTML::Element, HTML::TreeBuilder,...) 1621 * Font-AFM (Font::AFM, Font::Metrics::*) 1622 * File-CounterFile 1623 - Simplified internals of HTTP::Headers. Hopefully, nobody will notice. 1624 - New modules HTTP::Headers::Auth, HTTP::Headers::ETag that adds 1625 additional convenience methods to the HTTP::Headers class. 1626 - Removed split_etag_list() from HTTP::Headers::Util, in the hope that 1627 nobody had starting using it. 1628 16295.22 1998-03-24 1630 - HTTP::Cookies made more compatible with Netscape cookies. Allow the domain 1631 to match host, allow dots in the part of the hostname not covered by 1632 domain. Don't quote the cookie value even when it contains non-token 1633 chars. Based on patch from Kartik Subbarao <subbarao@computer.org>. 1634 - Updated HTTP::Status to reflect <draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-rev-03>. 1635 RC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY renamed to RC_FOUND. Added codes 1636 RC_TEMPORARY_REDIRECT (307) and RC_EXPECTATION_FAILED (417). Slightly 1637 more documentation too. 1638 - The split_header_words() function HTTP::Headers::Util could go into 1639 infinite loop on some header values. Implemented split_etag_list() too 1640 Added more documentation and test script for this module. 1641 - LWP::Simple now switch to full LWP implementation even for systems that 1642 force all environment keys to be upper case. Modification suggested by 1643 Dale Couch <dcouch@training.orl.lmco.com>. 1644 - LWP::UserAgent allows redirects to a relative URL with scheme to be made. 1645 Suggested by Chris W.

Support the --hier and the --auth options and 1652 <frame>s. 1653 - File::CounterFile protect against bad $/ and $\ by Frank Hoehne. 1654 - File::Listing used "next" when return was more appropriate. Patch 1655 by erik@mediator.uni-c.dk. 1656 - HTML::Element support for multiple boolean attributes for a single element. 1657 Patch by Philip Guenther. 1658 - Can set $HTTP::Headers::TRANSLATE_UNDERSCORE to FALSE value to suppress 1659 tr/_/-/ of header keys. 1660 - LWP::Protocol::http won't initialize the Host header if it's already set. 1661 - LWP::Protocol::http did not handle responses with no header lines 1662 correctly. Patch by Daniel Buenzli <buenzli@rzu.unizh.ch> 1663 - $url->rel() handles path segments without leading "/" better. 1664 16655.20 1998-02-13 1666 - Fixed the "500 Offset outside string" bug that affected perl <= 5.004_03 1667 - Fixed a documentation typo. by Michael Quaranta <quaranta@vnet.IBM.COM> 1668 - HTTP::Date: Protect against croaking from timegm/timelocal. 1669 16705.19 1998-01-26 1671 - HTML::Parser does not call $self->text() callback for empty text anymore. 1672 - LWP::Protocol::https was noisy when connections failed and the script was 1673 running with '-w' (noise inherited from IO::Socket::INET) 1674 - $ua->use_alarm(BOOL) now gives a warning if running with -w 1675 16765.18_05 1998-01-20 (TRIAL) 1677 - HTTPS support based on my Crypt-SSLeay module. The Net-SSLeay module is 1678 not supported any more. 1679 - lwp-request documentation typo spotted Martijn Koster. 1680 - Removed superfluous \\ in the URI::Escape regex. Spotted by Martijn. 1681 - File::Listing now handles timezones correctly. 1682 - Added $VERSION to modules that was missing it. 1683 - Added 'use strict' to several modules that was missing it. 1684 - LWP::Protocol::http now adds the Client-Peer header to responses and has 1685 hooks for more callbacks. 1686 - LWP::Protocol::https adds Client-SSL-Cipher, Client-SSL-Cert-Subject and 1687 Client-SSL-Cert-Issuer headers to the response. The requests can also 1688 be made conditional based on the peer certificate using the 1689 If-SSL-Cert-Subject header in requests. 1690 - HTML::Parse is back. (It was even used in lwpcook.pod) 1691 16925.18_04 1997-12-17 (TRIAL) 1693 - Makefile.PL fix based on report from Pon Hwa Lin <koala@fragment.com> 1694 - lwp-request will now print the res code message with -s and -S options. 1695 - Hide IO::Socket::INET noise when running under -w 1696 - Don't set 'Content-Length: 0' in HTTP requests. 1697 - LWP::Protocol::http now calls LWP::Debug::conns again 1698 16995.18_03 1997-12-16 (TRIAL) 1700 - Got rid of alarms() and replaced LWP::Socket with IO::Socket::INET. 1701 - New protocol implementations for http, https, gopher, nntp. 1702 - $ua->use_alarm() is now a noop. 1703 - LWP::Protocol::ftp patch from Tony Finch <fanf@demon.net>. 1704 - Removed deprecated modules from the distribution; HTML::Parse, 1705 LWP::Socket, LWP::SecureSocket, LWP::IO, LWP::TkIO. 1706 17075.18 1997-12-12 1708 - HTTP authorization patches from Tony Finch <fanf@demon.net>. Allows 1709 "user:pass@" in HTTP URLs. 1710 - HTML::Parser patch by Brian McCauley <B.A.McCauley@bham.ac.uk>. Pass 1711 original text to end() method. 1712 - The HTML::Parser->netscape_buggy_comment method is deprecated. Use 1713 HTML::Parser->strict_comment instead. The default value has changed 1714 with the name. 1715 - Some HTML::Parser optimization tweaks. 1716 - New module named HTML::Filter 1717 - Updated HTTP::Headers to the latest HTTP spec. Added knowledge about the 1718 "Trailer", "Expect", "TE", "Accept-Range" headers. "Public" header 1719 is gone. 1720 - Added some more header convenience methods: if_unmodified_since, 1721 content_language, and proxy_authorization methods. 1722 - HTTP::{Request,Response}->clone can handle subclasses now. 1723 - HTTP::Request->url() can now undefine the URL. 1724 - HTTP::{Request,Response}->as_string format looks more like the HTTP 1725 protocol formatting now. Dashed lines above and below is gone. 1726 - Documented HTTP::Response->status_line method 1727 - Compressed HTML::Response->error_as_HTML output 1728 - HTTP::Status updated to latest HTTP spec. Added 1729 RC_REQUEST_RANGE_NOT_SATISFIABLE (416) 1730 17315.17 1997-12-02 1732 - All authentication handling moved out of LWP::UserAgent and into 1733 LWP::Authen::Basic and LWP::Authen::Digest. We now also support 1734 PROXY_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED responses. 1735 - HTML::Formatter will always add a blank line for <br>. 1736 - Avoid use of uninitialized value in HTTP::Daemon. 1737 - HTTP::Date allows seconds when recognizing 'ls -l' dates. This allows us 1738 to parse syslog time stamps. 1739 - HTTP::Request::Common::POST allows a hash reference as second argument 1740 (in addition to an array reference). 1741 - LWP::Simple will initialize the $ua if it is exported. 1742 - Various documentation updates. 1743 17445.16 1997-11-21 1745 - LWP::Simple::head() would die in array context because str2time was not 1746 imported any more. 1747 - HTTP::Daemon->accept now takes an optional package argument like 1748 IO::Socket->accept does. 1749 - Made HTTP::Request and HTTP::Response subclassable. 1750 - Added Proxy-Authorization example to lwpcook. 1751 17525.15 1997-11-06 1753 - New module URI::Heuristic 1754 - The lwp-request script now use URI::Heuristic for it's URL arguments. It 1755 means that 'lwp-request perl' will not get a file called "./perl" but 1756 will fetch the page "http://www.perl.com" or something similar. If you 1757 want to get the file you have to prefix it with "./". Full URLs are 1758 never affected by this. 1759 - LWP::Simple::get() will bypass LWP for simple HTTP requests. This should 1760 make it somewhat faster. 1761 - LWP::RobotUA has a new method called $ua->use_sleep() that controls how 1762 niceness towards the servers are enforced. Previously $ua->use_alarm() 1763 used to control this, but this did not work well on Win32 systems. 1764 - URI::URL::rel() will handle URLs to a fragment within the same document 1765 better. Initial patch from Nicolai Langfeldt <janl@math.uio.no>. 1766 - HTML::Element don't consider </th>, </tr> and </td> optional any more. 1767 - Added lots of modern tags to HTML::AsSubs. 1768 - HTTP::Request::Common will read uploaded files in binmode(). This should 1769 be better for Win32 systems. by <Steve_Kilbane@cegelecproj.co.uk>. 1770 17715.14 1997-10-12 1772 - HTML::Formatter patches from Andreas Gustafsson <gson@araneus.fi>. The 1773 formatters handling of whitespace is much better now. Thanks! 1774 - HTML::FormatText: can specify margins in the constructor. 1775 - URI::URL: the base will be absolutized internally now. 1776 - URI::URL will take advantage of void context provided by perl5.004. This 1777 means that using $u->path and $u->query should be safer now. 1778 - URI::URL->print_on defaults to STDERR now (used to be STDOUT). 1779 - URI::URL: removed version 3 compatibility stuff ($COMPAT_VER_3). 1780 - $ua->mirror should work better on dosish systems (can not rename when 1781 target file exists). 1782 - Typo in lwp-download prevented it from compiling. 1783 - Some minor documentations typos corrected. 1784 17855.13 1997-09-20 1786 - Brand new module called HTTP::Cookies. It stores cookies (Set-Cookie and 1787 Set-Cookie2 headers) from responses and can create appropriate Cookie 1788 headers for requests. It can also share cookie files with Netscape. 1789 - LWP::UserAgent now support the cookie_jar() attribute. When set to an 1790 HTTP::Cookies object, it will automatically manage the cookies sent to 1791 the servers. Off by default. 1792 - New header utility functions in HTTP::Headers::Util. 1793 - Win32 and OS/2 patches for the lwp-xxx utilities. Turn on binary mode 1794 by default (option to turn it off), avoid modifying $0, and don't be 1795 confused about suffixes in the script names.

They are distributed 1831 separately now. 1832 - Added a new module called HTTP::Request::Common 1833 - Improved HTTP::Status documentation. It is now also possible to import 1834 the is_client_error/is_server_error functions. 1835 - LWP::MediaTypes::guess_media_type() can now take an optional HTTP::Header 1836 parameter. 1837 - LWP::Protocol ensures that scheme is legal as module name. 1838 - LWP::Protocol::http is not as strict when trying to verify the method 1839 name. It now also accepts responses without a message on the status line 1840 - WWW::RobotRules::AnyDBM_File: Some DBMs fail to allow multiple opens of 1841 the same file.

Enable it by 1934 calling $p->netscape_buggy_comment(1). The previous version of the 1935 parser could also (under very unlucky and unlikely circumstances) call 1936 the $self->comment() method several times for the same comment text. 1937 - HTML::Parser: Use new $p->eof to signal end of document instead of 1938 $p->parse(undef). 1939 - HTML::Element::starttag() is now smarter about which quotes it use around 1940 attribute values. 1941 - New HTTP::Response methods: current_age(), freshness_lifetime(), 1942 is_fresh(), fresh_until(). 1943 - HTTP::Message: New method ($mess->content_ref) which will return a 1944 reference to the current content. 1945 - URI::URL: New method ($url->rel) which does the opposite of abs(). 1946 Example: url("http://host/a/b/c", "http://host/c/d/e")->rel would 1947 return url("../../a/b/c", "http://host/c/d/e").

Introduced the HTML::Parser class that 1983 will tokenize a HTML document. The rest of the old HTML::Parse 1984 functionality has moved to HTML::TreeBuilder class. Note, that the HTML 1985 stuff is still alpha. 1986 - Implemented HTML::HeadParser. This is a lightweight parser for the <HEAD> 1987 section of a HTML document. 1988 - HTML::Element had problem with presenting things like <foo bar="bar">. 1989 - HTML::Entities: Included additional ISO-8859/1 entities listed in RFC1866. 1990 - HTML::AsSubs exported 'header' instead of 'head' 1991 - We know about a few more of the HTML 3.2 element. 1992 - HTTP::Date had problems with years before 1970, because Time::Local went 1993 into an infinite loop. Check for this. 1994 - Added $header->title method. 1995 - Made $header->authorization_basic return "uname:passwd" in scalar context 1996 - LWP::Protocol::collect() will let the HTML::HeadParser look at the 1997 document content as it arrives. This will initialize headers from 1998 elements like <base href="...">, <title>...</title> and 1999 <meta http-equiv="..." ...>. 2000 - Simplified $response->base implementation, because we don't have to look 2001 into the content any more. 2002 - Added -quiet option to lwp-rget 2003 - Typo fixes and some documentation additions. 2004 20054.999 1996-05-09 2006 - BETA release for version 5. (5b13) 2007 - Made URI::URL::strict(0) the default. I got tired of all this eval { } 2008 stuff just to recover. The URI::URL::strict'ness also determine if 2009 calling some standard method that happens to be illegal for some 2010 protocol scheme will croak or just be ignored. 2011 - Ensure correct $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR and $OUTPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR at 2012 places where we <> or print. 2013 - Always localize $_ before any 'while(<FILE>) {}'-loops 2014 - Implemented $protocol->collect_once() and simplified several of the 2015 protocol implementations by using it. 2016 - The HTML parser used to get it wrong if you were unlucky about the 2017 breakup of the text. An example of broken behaviour was this: 2018 $html = parse_html "<!-- A comment -"; 2019 $html = parse_html "-> and some text."; 2020 - The HTML parser does not ignore whitespace-only text any more. 2021 - HTML::Parse warnings are now optional and turned off by default. 2022 - New start for $html->as_HTML(). 2023 - Fixed some typos 2024 20254.99 1996-04-24 2026 - BETA release for version 5 (5b12) 2027 - New utility program called 'lwp-rget'. 2028 - $response->base was broken for HTML documents 2029 - New fancy LWP::Debug import() method.

(5b7) 2137 - Perl5.002 is required now 2138 - Rewrite of the URI::URL module (version 4.00) 2139 - escaping/unsafe stuff redone (and removed) 2140 - URI::URL::_generic moved out of URL.pm 2141 - netloc, path, params, query is now stored internally in escaped form 2142 - new methods for URI::URL::_generic are: 2143 - epath 2144 - eparams 2145 - equery 2146 - path_components 2147 - absolute_path 2148 - new methods for URI::URL::http are: 2149 - keywords 2150 - query_form 2151 - new methods for URI::URL::file are: 2152 - newlocal 2153 - local_path 2154 - unix_path 2155 - dos_path 2156 - mac_path 2157 - vms_path 2158 - URI::Escape now semi-compile regular expressions (by evaling an 2159 anonymous sub). Same technique is also used in HTML::Entities. 2160 - HTTP::Date parser rewritten using regular expressions. 2161 - HTTP::Headers->as_string() now croaks if any field values contain newline. 2162 - HTTP::Status constants use empty prototype. 2163 - Font metrics moved to a new subdirectory (lib/Font/Metrics) 2164 - Don't use the VERSION script any more (even if it was very clever) 2165 - HTML::Entities will now export the names decode_entities() and 2166 encode_entities(). 2167 - Andreas Koenig's black patch to HTML::Element. 2168 - The HTML::Formatter now knows about <menu> and <dir> tags 2169 - The construct "defined ref($arg)" did not work on perl5.002 because ref 2170 now always return something defined. 2171 - LWP::UserAgent sends by default a 'User-Agent' header. 2172 - LWP::Simple sends 'User-Agent' header to servers. 2173 - Updated the LWP::Socket module to use the new Socket.pm interface. 2174 - LWP::Protocol::http sends the new HTTP/1.1 'Host' header. 2175 - LWP::Protocol::file use $url->local_path to get a file to open. It also 2176 inserts a <BASE> tag in directories instead of a redirect. 2177 - MIME::Base64 routines can be called as MIME::Base64::encode() and 2178 MIME::Base64::decode(). Same kind of thing for QuotedPrint. 2179 21800.06 1995-11-06 2181 - BETA release for version 5. (5b6) 2182 - Installation should work better for those that still runs perl4 as 'perl'. 2183 The mirror script is not installed by default. 2184 - LWP::Socket::_getaddress() Numerical IP addresses did not work. 2185 - LWP::Socket::pushback() did not work. This also avoids the 2186 bad pp_select() core dump from perl. 2187 - LWP::IO now also selects on socket exceptions. 2188 - HTML::Parse: Ignore <!DOCTYPE ...> regardless for case. Some bad 2189 insertElement() calls made infinite loops. 2190 - The uri.t test works better for places where /tmp is a sym-link. 2191 21920.05 1995-09-16 2193 - BETA release for version 5.

Routine names 2219 has changed as suggested by Tim Bunce. 2220 - LWP::MediaType reads default types from media.types file. 2221 - guessMediaType() now also returns encodings. New function mediaSuffix() 2222 - Pass $url to $ua->getBasicCredentials(). This also fixes security hole 2223 with the old implementation of getBasicCredentials(). 2224 - LWP::Protocol::file now sets Content-Encoding headers 2225 - Allow request content to be provided by a callback routine. 2226 - Fix bug that prevented response callback to work. The first parameter 2227 (data) is no longer a reference, because $_[0] is already a reference. 2228 Don't callback unless successful response. Callbacks during redirects 2229 was confusing. 2230 - URI::URL. Remove port from netloc if it is the default port. Don't use 2231 anything, just require. 2232 - HTTP::Message->addContent() does not need a reference parameter. 2233 - LWP::Socket->open() has been renamed top LWP::Socket->connect() 2234 - LWP::Socket->close has gone. 2235 - Implemented new method LWP::Socket->read() that returns as fast as it has 2236 some data to offer. 2237 - Implemented LWP::Socket->pushback(). 2238 - Does not die in LWP::UserAgent->request() 2239 - LWP::Socket now use LWP::IO for low level IO 2240 - Implemented LWP::TkIO as a replacement module for LWP::IO when using Tk. 2241 - $ua->redirectOK() for checking redirects 2242 - reorganized tests in the "t" directory. 2243 22440.03 1995-08-11 2245 - Included RobotRules.pm from Martijn Koster 2246 - New module URI::Escape (URI::URL use this module for default escaping) 2247 that provide the uri_escape() and uri_unescape() functions. 2248 - Setting $url->scheme now changes the class of the object. 2249 - Made $httpurl->user() and $httpurl->password() illegal. Likewise for other URL schemes. 2250 - Reorganisation as discussed on <libwww-perl@ics.uci.edu> 2251 - LWP::Date --> HTTP::Date 2252 - LWP::MIMEheader --> HTTP::Headers 2253 - LWP::StatusCode --> HTTP::Status 2254 - LWP::Message --> HTTP::Message 2255 - LWP::Request --> HTTP::Request 2256 - LWP::Response --> HTTP::Response 2257 - LWP::MIMEtypes --> LWP::MediaTypes 2258 - HTTP::Date parses ctime format with missing timezone as suggested by Roy 2259 Fielding <fielding@beach.w3.org> 2260 - HTTP::Status and LWP::MediaTypes exports their functions by default. 2261 - Split up the URI::URL module.

The old 2268 implementation was forcing all unknown header-words to begin with an 2269 uppercase (as it should be), but disallowed other uppercase letters. 2270 - updates the status code messages under the August 3rd HTTP/1.0 draft. 2271 '203' became 'Non-Authoritative Information', '303' became 'See Other', 2272 and a new code, '411 Authorization Refused', was added. 2273 - Can remove multiple headers with single removeHeader() call in MIMEheader. 2274 - Can assign multiple field/value pairs in header() method of MIMEheader. 2275 - A field with multiple values is printed as separate values in 2276 MIMEheader::as_string(). 2277 - LWP::Response contain new attributes: previous() and request(). These 2278 attributes are updated by the UserAgent. 2279 - Appended \n to some die statements in Socket so that line numbers are 2280 suppressed in error messages. 2281 - Made UserAgent::clone work for reference members 2282 - Check for redirect loops and multiple authorization failures by 2283 examination of the response chain. 2284 - Use "\015\012" instead of "\r\n" in protocol modules. Some systems define 2285 \r and \n differently. 2286 - request program can now handle documents that needs authorization by 2287 prompting the user for username/password. Added new -S option to print 2288 request/response chain. 2289 22900.02 1995-07-25 2291 - Included URI::URL in the release 2292 - Incorporated Makemake.PL and VERSION from Andreas Koenig <koenig@mind.de> 2293 As a result of this the following things have changed: 2294 - programs in "bin" are extracted from .PL-files 2295 - reintroduced "lib" 2296 - "test" has been renamed as "t" 2297 - test programs in "t" has been made Test::Harness compatible 2298 - we now have a MANIFEST file 2299 - no more need for update_version, make-dist, lwp-install 2300 - Renamed bin/get to bin/request. Links to it are now all upper case. 2301 - Proxy support in bin/request (provided by Martijn Koster) 2302 - UserAgent can now load proxy settings from environment 2303 - LWP::Protocol::ftp is under way but not really finished 2304 - Implemented LWP::Protocol::gopher 2305 - Implemented LWP::Protocol::mailto 2306 - Fixed proxy typo 2307 23080.01 1995-07-17 2309 - Don't lose first line of HTTP/0.9 requests 2310 - LWP::Socket use syswrite() for writing 2311 - Added RC_* documentation to LWP::StatusCode 2312 - LWP::Date now use hash to look up month numbers 2313 - Added -f option to "get" 2314 - Untabify 2315 - Added a "TODO" list 2316 - Fixed various typos 2317 - Reorganized directories. 2318 - Moved LWP.pm up. 2319 - Moved file.pm and http.pm into the LWP::Protocol directory. 2320 - Moved LWP out of the lib directory and removed lib. 2321 - Implemented the "get" and "mirror" scripts in the "bin" directory. 2322 - Implemented "install-lwp", "update_version" and "make-dist". The 2323 library version number is found in the VERSION file. 2324 - Always adds 1900 to the year in LWP::Date 2325 - In LWP::MIMEheader: Implemented clone(), removeHeader() and scan() 2326 methods. Reimplemented asString. Removed asMIME(). Moved "Good 2327 Practice" into this file, and reimplemented it. 2328 - Moved "header" and "content" into LWP::Message class. This change 2329 made LWP::Request and LWP::Response much simpler. Made clone() 2330 method actually work. 2331 - LWP::Protocol::implementor does not die if it cannot load package. 2332 - Moved UserAgent convenience methods into LWP::Simple. Made LWP::Simple 2333 export LWP::StatusCode symbols and functions. 2334 - Implemented $ua->isProtocolSupported($scheme) method. 2335 - Nicer directory listing in LWP::Protocol::file.pm 2336 - Rely on URI::URL 3.00 behaviour for $url->full_path 2337 - Library version number now in LWP.pm. You should be able to say 2338 "use LWP 1.0;" if you need at least this version. 2339 - Various cleanups and arranging layout as I like it. Use fooBar-style 2340 (as opposed to foo_bar style) everywhere. This means that 2341 as_string() now is called asString(). 2342 - Added more documentation. 2343 - Removed lot of redundant & before function calls. 2344 - $this --> $self 2345 - &collector passes content as a reference, don't want to copy so much 2346 - parameterlist to collect callback has been rearranged 2347 - Response::addContent gets a reference to the data 2348 - Added some callback documentation to UserAgent.pm 2349 - Protocol::file now uses the collector 2350 - Introduced LWP::Simple 2351 - Added basic authentication support 2352 - Added mirroring of single documents 2353 - Change Protocol construction from whacky URL.pm (constructor returns 2354 subclass) to more normal C++'ish way. 2355 - Minor cleanups from printed code inspection 2356 - Added redirection resolution 2357 - Added optional autoloading of protocols 2358 - Separated socket stuff into separate module 2359 - Added HTTP proxy support 2360 - Made alarm handling optional 2361 - Added a LWP::Message for completeness sake 2362 - Added LWP::MemberMixin to reduce code duplication 2363 - Cosmetic changes to LWP::Date 2364 - Renamed LWP::Error to LWP::StatusCode 2365 - Renamed LWP::MIME to LWP::MIMEtype 2366 - Changed the tests to cope with all this 2367 - Changed the socket reading to use sysread. This will have to go into a 2368 module of its own. 2369 - Mentioned on libwww-perl that I had changed the classes around lots. 2370
