HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft, makes it possible for LWP to share MSIE's cookies.
HTML::Form supports file upload better now. There are some new methods on
that kind of input; file(), filename(), content() and headers().
Net::HTTP avoids exceptions in read_response_headers() with laxed option.
New LWP::DebugFile, LWP::Authen::Ntml
The format_chunk() and write_chunk() methods of Net::HTTP did not work.
The Client-Peer response header is back.
Make HTTP::Date compatible with perl 5.8.
Try to avoid to default to overwriting /usr/bin/head on MacOS X when the
perl install prefix is /usr/bin.
HTTP::Negotiate doc patch.

Simplified the Makefile.PL:
- the scripts are not longer *.PL files
- don't try to make symlinks for GET, HEAD, POST
as that has not worked for a long time
- the GET, HEAD, POST aliases for lwp-request should
now work on Windows.
HTTP::Cookies:
- added 'clear_temporary_cookies' method;
patch by Mike Schilli <schilli1@pacbell.net>.
- trailing space in old cookie parameters not ignored;
patch by Ivan Panchenko
- protect against $SIG{__DIE__} handlers;
patch by Adam Newby <adam@NewsNow.co.uk>.
LWP::Authen::Digest:
- abort digest auth session if we fail repeatedly with
the same username/password.
|
|
- Regen patches
- Add p5-Compress-Zlib to DEPENDS
- Add Compress::Zlib for Net::HTTP::Methods
- LWP::Authen::Digest now use Digest::MD5 instead of MD5
- Net::HTTP new options to the 'read_response_headers' method
- LWP::Protocol::http will now allow certain bad headers
n the responses it reads.
- LWP::UserAgent: make sure that the 'request' attribute is
always set on the returned response.

The $VERSION of LWP::UserAgent wrapped around. This confused the
CPAN indexer. Bumped the major number to 2 to fix this.
Net::HTTP did not work well on perl5.003. The PeerHost argument
to IO::Socket::INET was not recognized, so we had to use PeerAddr
instead. The syswrite() method also required a length argument.
Net::HTTP did not deal with transfer encoding tokens in a
case-insensitive way.
The jigsaw-chunk test failed on MacOS because "\n" is different.

Release 5.53
LWP::Simple::get() could sometimes return nothing on failure in
list context. Now it always returns 'undef'.
HTTP::Cookies does not request 2 dots on domain names any more.
New option to hide the Cookie2 header. Cookie2 header now quote
the version number. Updated reference to RFC 2965.
Support for embedded userinfo in http proxy URIs. It means that
you know can set up your proxy with things like:
http_proxy="http://proxyuser:proxypass@proxyhost:port"
Patch by John Klar <j.klar@xpedite.com>.
Experimental HTTP/1.1 support. New module called Net::HTTP that
provide the lower level interface and a LWP::Protocol::http11
module that builds on it. The HTTP/1.1 protocol module must be
loaded and registered explicitly, otherwise the old and trustworthy
HTTP/1.0 module will be used.
LWP::Protocol::GHTTP will try to use the get_headers() methods
so that it can actually extract all the headers.
2001-03-29 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 5.52
HTTP::Header: new method $h->init_header() that will only
set the header if it is not already set. Some shuffling
around in the code.
LWP::UserAgent will not override 'User-Agent', 'From'
or 'Range' headers if they are explicitly set in the
request passed in.
HTML::Form tries to optimize parsing be restricting the
tags that are reported by HTML::Parser. Will need
HTML::Parser v3.19_93 or better for this to actually
have any effect.
LWP::Protocol::ftp now deals with path parameters again.
It means that you can append ";type=a" to ftp-URI and
it will download the document in ASCII mode.
If the server output multiple Location headers on a redirect,
ignore all but the first one.
Extract cookies failed on request URIs with empty paths.
This was only triggered if you used URI objects directly in
scripts.
This change was actually part of 5.51: Fix qop="auth"
handling for Digest authentication.
Patch by Dave Dunkin <dave_dunkin@hotmail.com>.
2001-03-14 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 5.51
SECURITY FIX: If LWP::UserAgent::env_proxy is called in a CGI
environment, the case-insensitivity when looking for "http_proxy"
permits "HTTP_PROXY" to be found, but this can be trivially set by the
web client using the "Proxy:" header. The fix applied is that
$ENV{HTTP_PROXY} is not longer honored for CGI scripts.
The CGI_HTTP_PROXY environment variable can be used instead.
Problem reported by Randal L. Schwartz.
NOTE: It is recommended that everybody that use LWP::UserAgent
(including LWP::Simple) in CGI scripts upgrade to this release.
Explicit setting of action on HTML::Form had no effect because
of a code typo. Patch by BooK <book@netcourrier.com>.
HTTP::Daemon: The CONNECT method need special treatment because
it does not provide a URI as argument (just a "hostname:port").
The non-upward compatibility warning is that you must now call
$request->url->host_port to get the host/port string for CONNECT,
rather than calling $request->url and using the entire string.
Based on patch from Randal L. Schwartz <merlyn@stonehenge.com>
HTTP::Daemon: Create self URL based on $self->sockaddr. This works
better when LocalAddr is used to specify the port number. Based on
patch from Ben Low <ben@snrc.uow.edu.au>.
Avoid potential '<FILE> chunk 1' messages at the end of the response
'message'.
