Log Message:
Update to 5.803:
2004-12-11   Gisle Aas

    Release 5.803

    HTTP::Message: $mess->decoded_content sometimes had the side
    effect of destroying $mess->content.

    HTTP::Message: $mess->decoded_content failed for
    "Content-Encoding: deflate" if the content was not in the
    zlib-format as specified for the HTTP protocol.  Microsoft got
    this wrong, so we have to support raw deflate bytes as well.

    HTTP::Response->parse don't require the protocol to be
    specified any more.  This allows HTTP::Response->parse($resp->as_string)
    to round-trip.  Patch by Harald Joerg.

    HTTP::Response: $resp->base might now return undef.  Previously
    it would croak if there was no associated request.  Based on
    patch by Harald Joerg.

    HTML::Form now support <label> for check- and radio boxes.
    Patch contributed by Dan Kubb.

    Make HTTP::Daemon subclassable, patch by Kees Cook.

    lwp-download allow directory to save into to be specified.
    Patch by Radoslaw Zielinski

    lwp-download will validate filename derived from server
    controlled data and will fail if something looks not
    quite right.

2004-11-30   Gisle Aas

    Release 5.802

    The HTTP::Message object now have a decoded_content() method.
    This will return the content after any Content-Encodings and
    charsets has been decoded.

    Compress::Zlib is now a prerequisite module.

    HTTP::Request::Common: The POST() function created an invalid
    Content-Type header for file uploads with no parameters.

    Net::HTTP: Allow Transfer-Encoding with trailing whitespace.
    <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=3929>

    Net::HTTP: Don't allow empty content to be treated as a valid
    HTTP/0.9 response.
    <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=4581>
    <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=6883>

    File::Protocol::file: Fixup directory links in HTML generated
    for directories.  Patch by Moshe Kaminsky

    Makefile.PL will try to discover misconfigured systems that
    can't talk to themselves and disable tests that depend on this.

    Makefile.PL will now default to 'n' when asking about whether
    to install the "GET", "HEAD", "POST" programs.  There has been
    too many name clashes with these common names.

2004-11-12   Gisle Aas

    Release 5.801

    HTTP::Message improved content/content_ref interaction.  Fixes
    DYNAMIC_FILE_UPLOAD and other uses of code content in requests.

    HTML::Form:
      - Handle clicking on nameless image.
      - Don't let $form->click invoke a disabled submit button.

    HTTP::Cookies could not handle a "old-style" cookie named
    "Expires".

    HTTP::Headers work-around for thread safety issue in perl <= 5.8.4.

    HTTP::Request::Common improved documentation.

    LWP::Protocol: Check that we can write to the file specified in
    $ua->request(..., $file) or $ua->mirror.

    LWP::UserAgent clone() dies if proxy was not set.  Patch by
    Andy Lester

    HTTP::Methods now avoid "use of uninitialized"-warning when server
    replies with incomplete status line.

    lwp-download will now actually tell you why it aborts if it runs
    out of disk space of fails to write some other way.

    WWW::RobotRules: only display warning when running under 'perl -w'
    and show which robots.txt file they correspond to.  Based on
    patch by Bill Moseley.

    WWW::RobotRules: Don't empty cache when agent() is called if the
    agent name does not change.  Patch by Ville Skyttä

2004-06-16   Gisle Aas

    Release 5.800

    HTML::Form will allow individual menu entries to be disabled.
    This was needed to support <input type=radio disabled value=foo>
    and <select><option disabled>foo.

    HTML::Form now avoids name clashes between the <select> and
    <option> attributes.

    HTML::Form now implicitly close <select> elements when it sees
    another input or </form>.  This is closer to the MSIE behaviour.

    HTML::Form will now "support" keygen-inputs.  It will not
    calculate a key by itself.  The user will have to set its
    value for it to be returned by the form.

    HTTP::Headers now special case field names that start with a
    ':'.   This is used as an escape mechanism when you need the
    header names to not go through canonicalization.  It means
    that you can force LWP to use a specific casing and even
    underscores in header names.  The ugly $TRANSLATE_UNDERSCORE
    global has been undocumented as a result of this.

    HTTP::Message will now allow an external 'content_ref'
    to be set.  This can for instance be used to let HTTP::Request
    objects pick up content data from some scalar variable without
    having to copy it.

    HTTP::Request::Common.  The individual parts will no longer
    have a Content-Length header for file uploads.  This improves
    compatibility with "normal" browsers.

    LWP::Simple doc patch for getprint.
    Contributed by Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes

    LWP::UserAgent: New methods default_header() and
    default_headers().  These can be used to set up headers that
    are automatically added to requests as they are sent.  This
    can for instance be used to initialize various Accept headers.

    Various typo fixes by Ville Skyttä

    Fixed test failure under perl-5.005.

    LWP::Protocol::loopback:  This is a new protocol handler that
    works like the HTTP TRACE method, it will return the request
    provided to it.  This is sometimes useful for testing.  It can
    for instance be invoked by setting the 'http_proxy' environment
    variable to 'loopback:'.

2004-04-13   Gisle Aas

    Release 5.79

    HTML::Form now exposes the 'readonly' and 'disabled'
    attribute for inputs.  This allows your program to simulate
    JavaScript code that modifies these attributes.

    RFC 2616 says that http: referer should not be sent with
    https: requests.  The lwp-rget program, the $req->referer method
    and the redirect handling code now try to enforce this.
    Patch by Ville Skyttä

    WWW::RobotRules now look for the string found in
    robots.txt as a case insensitive substring from its own
    User-Agent string, not the other way around.
    Patch by Ville Skyttä

    HTTP::Headers: New method 'header_field_names' that
    return a list of names as suggested by its name.

    HTTP::Headers: $h->remove_content_headers will now
    also remove the headers "Allow", "Expires" and
    "Last-Modified".  These are also part of the set
    that RFC 2616 denote as Entity Header Fields.

    HTTP::Headers: $h->content_type is now more careful
    in removing embedded space in the returned value.
    It also now returns all the parameters as the second
    return value as documented.

    HTTP::Headers: $h->header() now croaks.  It used to
    silently do nothing.

    HTTP::Headers: Documentation tweaks.  Documented a
    few bugs discovered during testing.

    Typo fixes to the documentation all over the place
    by Ville Skyttä

    Updated tests.

2004-04-07   Gisle Aas

    Release 5.78

    Removed stray Data::Dump reference from test suite.

    Added the parse(), clear(), parts() and add_part() methods to
    HTTP::Message.  The HTTP::MessageParts module of 5.77 is no more.

    Added clear() and remove_content_headers() methods to
    HTTP::Headers.

    The as_string() method of HTTP::Message now appends a newline
    if called without arguments and the non-empty content does
    not end with a newline.  This ensures better compatibility with
    5.76 and older versions of libwww-perl.

    Use case insensitive lookup of hostname in $ua->credentials.
    Patch by Andrew Pimlott

2004-04-06   Gisle Aas

    Release 5.77

    LWP::Simple did not handle redirects properly when the "Location"
    header used uncommon letter casing.
    Patch by Ward Vandewege

    LWP::UserAgent passed the wrong request to redirect_ok().
    Patch by Ville Skyttä
    https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=5828

    LWP did not handle URLs like http://www.example.com?foo=bar
    properly.

    LWP::RobotUA construct now accept key/value arguments in the
    same way as LWP::UserAgent.
    Based on patch by Andy Lester

    LWP::RobotUA did not parse robots.txt files that contained
    "Disallow:" using uncommon letter casing.
    Patch by Liam Quinn

    WWW::RobotRules now allow leading space when parsing robots.txt
    file as suggested by Craig Macdonald
    We now also allow space before the colon.

    WWW::RobotRules did not handle User-Agent names that use complex
    version numbers.  Patch by Liam Quinn

    Case insensitive handling of hosts and domain names
    in HTTP::Cookies.
    https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=4530

    The bundled media.types file now match video/quicktime
    with the .mov extension, as suggested by Michel Koppelaar

    Experimental support for composite messages, currently
    implemented by the HTTP::MessageParts module.  Based on
    ideas from Joshua Hoblitt

    Fixed libscan in Makefile.PL.
    Patch by Andy Lester

    The HTTP::Message constructor now accept a plain array reference
    as its $headers argument.

    The return value of the HTTP::Message as_string() method now
    better conforms to the HTTP wire layout.  No additional "\n"
    are appended to the as_string value for HTTP::Request and
    HTTP::Response.  The HTTP::Request as_string now replace missing
    method or URI with "-" instead of "[NO METHOD]" and "[NO URI]".
    We don't want values with spaces in them, because it makes it
    harder to parse.
