- Merge pull request #38 from mbeijen/typo-sting
- Merge pull request #43 from dsteinbrunner/master
- Spelling corrections
- Typo fixes.
- correct behavior for https_proxy,
- e.g. don't send plain https:// requests to proxy, but instead
establish CONNECT tunnel and then send requests inside tunnel. This
change does together with a change in LWP::Protocol::https. The
change supports LWP::Protocol::https with the default IO::Socket::SSL
backend, but also with Net::SSL. Also:
- proxy authorization is supported (http://user:pass@host:port as
proxy URL, Net::SSL still needs special HTTPS_PROXY_* ENV
variables, as before)
- CONNECT request does not need to be the first request inside the
tunnel (not with Net::SSL)
- conn_cache is read and written inside request(), instead of
writing in request() and reading in _new_socket(). If a https
tunnel is established the cache_key no longer depends only on
proxy host,port but also on the tunnel endpoint
- CONNECT is a proxy request and must always use Proxy-Authorization,
not Authorization header
- fix: auth-header of Digest auth did not conform to
- RFC 2617 when WWW-Authenticate has 'qop' parameter.
- SSL libs might trigger ENOTTY on read
- Small typo.

6.02 2011-03-27
- This is the release where we try to help the CPAN-toolchain be able to
install the modules required for https-support in LWP. We have done this
by unbundling the LWP::Protocol::https module from the libwww-perl
distribution. In order to have https support you now need to install
(or depend on) 'LWP::Protocol::https' and then this will make sure that
all the prerequisite modules comes along. See [RT#66838].
- This release also removes the old http10 modules that has really been
deprecated since v5.60. These should have been removed at the v6.00
jump, but I forgot.

The new broken out CPAN distributions are
File-Listing, HTML-Form, HTTP-Cookies, HTTP-Daemon, HTTP-Date,
HTTP-Message, HTTP-Negotiate, Net-HTTP, and WWW-RobotRules.
libwww-perl-6 require these to be installed.
- This release also drops the unmaintained lwp-rget script from the distribution.
- Perl v5.8.8 or better is now required. For older versions of perl please
stay with libwww-perl-5.837.
- For https://... default to verified connections with require
IO::Socket::SSL and Mozilla::CA modules to be installed. Old behaviour
can be requested bysetting the PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME environment
variable to 0. The LWP::UserAgent got new ssl_opts method to control
this as well.
- Support internationalized URLs from command line scripts and in the proxy
environment variables.
- The lwp-dump script got new --request option.
- The lwp-request script got new -E option, contributed by Tony Finch.
- Protocol handlers and callbacks can raise HTTP::Response objects as
exceptions. This will abort the current request and make LWP return the
raised response.

Another problem was that Storable by default would not serialize these
objects any more.
- This release also adds support for locating HTML::Form inputs by id or

- Release 5.815 to 5.818 had a severe bug that sometimes made LWP not
collect all data for the responses it received. This release is strongly
recommended as an upgrade for those releases.
- Don't override $Net::HTTPS::SSL_SOCKET_CLASS if it's already set.
- Wrong content handlers would sometimes be skipped [RT#40187]
5.818 2008-10-16
- Main news in this release is the addition of the dump() method to the

5.817 2008-10-10
- This is the release where I played around with Devel::NYTProf to figure
where time was actually spent during the processing of requests with
LWP. The methods that manipulated header objects stood out, so this
release contains a few tweaks to make those parts faster.
- I also figured a few convenience methods to encode and decode the content
of request/response objects would be in order.
- Should store "wire" headers field names with _ without translation.

- Oops, release 5.815 broke download-to-file on Windows.
- Add missing binmode() [RT#39668]
- Doc tweaks
5.815 2008-09-24
- The main change this time is the introduction of handlers to drive the
processing of requests in LWP::UserAgent. You can also register your
own handlers for modifying and processing requests or responses on their
way, which I think is a much more flexible approach that trying to
subclass LWP::UserAgent to customize it. If we have had these early on
then the LWP::UserAgent API could have been so much simpler as the
effect of most current attributes can easily be set up with trivial
handlers.
- Also thanks to contributions by Bron Gondwana LWP's Basic/Digest auth
modules now registers handlers which allow them to automatically fill
in the Authorization headers without first taking the round-trip of a
401 response when LWP knows the credentials for a given realm.
- We don't need to build the docs to run the tests.
- Style tweaks.
- The jigsaw service isn't up to much good these days.

- Expose the content_is_html and content_is_xhtml methods from HTTP::Headers.
- Make credentials method able to get/set values.
- An auth handler per realm.
- Match proxy setting for request.
- Set up separate handler for adding proxy authentication.
- Add request_preprepare to be able to initialize proxy early enough.
- Smarter get_my_handler() that can also create handlers.
- Refactor; introduce run_handlers method
- Pass in handler hash to the handler callback.
- Don't let version=1 override behaviour if specified with a plan Set-Cookie header.
- Remove handler when we don't have a username/password for the realm.
- Make tests use Test.pm
- Double-check that username or password has changed after a failed login.
- Update Digest Authen to subclass Basic.

- More laxed t/live/validator test.
5.806 2007-07-19

- Added chunked test by Andreas J. Koenig
5.805 2005-12-08
- HTTP::Date: The str2time function returned wrong values for years in the
early 20th century, because timelocal() actually expects the year to be
provided on a different scale than what localtime() returns.
- HTTP::Headers can now be constructed with field names that repeat. The
$h->header function now also accept repeating field names and can also
remove headers if passed undef as value.
- HTML::Form: The parse method now takes hash style optional arguments and
the old verbose behaviour is now off by default.
- HTML::Form: Accept <select multiple=""> for compatibility with other
browsers. Patch by Josh Rai <[email protected]>.
- HTML::Form: Sane handling of 'disabled' for ListInput. Based on patch by
Joao Lopes <[email protected]>.
- HTTP::Negotiate: Fixed matching of partial language tags. Dan Kubb.
- HTTP::Response: The as_string method now returns a status line that
doesn't add the "official" code name in the message field. This improves
the ability to round-trip response objects via
HTTP::Response->parse($res->as_string) and makes the first line of the
string returned agree with $res->status_line.
- Net::HTTP: The host attribute can now be set undef in order to suppress
this header for HTTP/1.0 requests.
- Net::HTTP: The default Host: header does not include the port number if
it is the default (80 for plain HTTP). Some servers get confused by this.
- Net::HTTP: Ignore bogus Content-Length headers. Don't get confused by
leading or trailing whitespace.
- LWP::Protocol::http: More efficient sending of small PUT/POST requests by
trying harder to pass off the whole request in a single call to syswrite.
- lwp-request now give better error messages if you used the -o option
without having the HTML-Tree distribution installed. Also document this
dependency.
5.804 2005-12-06
- HTTP::Message->parse did not work when the first line of the body was
something that looked like a header.
- HTTP::Header::Auth needs HTTP::Headers to be loaded before it replace
its functions.

- Support the nntp: scheme.
- Support hostname in news: and nntp: URIs.
- Close connection and preserve headers also in non-OK responses.
- HEAD support for URIs identifying a newsgroup.
- Comment spelling fixes.
- Fix quotes in Net::HTTP example.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=283916

contributed by <[email protected]>.
- Makefile.PL: Set name to LWP so that the .packlist ends up in the
expected place.
5.803 2004-12-11
- 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 <[email protected]>.
- HTTP::Response: $resp->base might now return undef. Previously it would
croak if there was no associated request Harald Joerg
- HTML::Form now support <label> for check- and radio boxes. Dan Kubb
- Make HTTP::Daemon subclassable, patch by Kees Cook <[email protected]>.
- lwp-download allow save directory to be specified. Radoslaw Zielinski
- lwp-download will validate filename derived from server controlled data
and will fail if something looks not quite right.
5.802 2004-11-30
- The HTTP::Message object now has a decoded_content() method. This will
return content after Content-Encodings and charsets have 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 <[email protected]>.
- 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.
5.801 2004-11-12
- 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. 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. Bill Moseley.
- WWW::RobotRules: Don't empty cache when agent() is called if the agent
name does not change. Ville Skyttä <[email protected]>.
5.800 2004-06-16
- 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. Yitzchak
Scott-Thoennes <[email protected]>.
- 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 <[email protected]>.
- 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:'.
5.79 2004-04-13
- 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. By Ville Skyttä <[email protected]>.
- 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 <[email protected]>.
- 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 by Ville Skyttä <[email protected]>.
- Updated tests.
5.78 2004-04-07
- 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 <[email protected]>.
5.77 2004-04-06
- LWP::Simple did not handle redirects properly when the "Location" header
used uncommon letter casing. Patch by Ward Vandewege <[email protected]>.
- LWP::UserAgent passed the wrong request to redirect_ok(). Patch by Ville
Skyttä <[email protected]>.
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 <[email protected]>.
- LWP::RobotUA did not parse robots.txt files that contained "Disallow:"
using uncommon letter casing. Patch by Liam Quinn <[email protected]>.
- WWW::RobotRules now allow leading space when parsing robots.txt file as
suggested by Craig Macdonald <[email protected]>. 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 <[email protected]>.
- 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 <[email protected]>.
- Experimental support for composite messages, currently implemented by the
HTTP::MessageParts module. Joshua Hoblitt <[email protected]>.
- Fixed libscan in Makefile.PL. Patch by Andy Lester <[email protected]>.
- 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.
5.76 2003-11-21
- Revised handling of redirects.
- clear our content and content headers if we rewrite request as GET
based on patch by Steven Butler <[email protected]>.
- pass $response to redirect_ok()
- Support cpan:-URLs. Try 'lwp-download cpan:src/latest.tar.gz' :)
- Fix test failure in 't/html/form.t' for perl5.005.
5.75 2003-10-26
- Reworked LWP::UserAgent, HTTP::Request and HTTP::Response documentation.
- other documentation tweaks.

- better prompts
- avoid warnings when aborted at the wrong time
- Collected all contributions in the AUTHORS file and also added an AUTHORS section to the LWP manpage.
- Style tweaks to all modules. Move POD after __END__ and uncuddled elses.
5.73 2003-10-19
- Takanori Ugai <[email protected]> found that 'max_redirect' introduced
in 5.72 was broken and provided a patch for that.
- Not all ftp servers return 550 responses when trying to to RETR a
directory. Microsoft's IIS is one of those. Patch provided by Thomas
Lotterer <[email protected]>.
- Some documentation tweaks.
5.72 2003-10-15
- Requests for some non-HTTP URLs would fail if the cookie_jar was enabled.
The HTTP::Cookies::add_cookie_header now ignore non-HTTP requests.
- The new local/http test failed on Windows because of a missing binmode().
- Suppress Client-SSL-Warning warning header when Crypt::SSLeay is able to
verify the peer certificate. Joshua Chamas <[email protected]>.
- HTTP::Request::Common::POST did not add a 'Content-Length' header when
the content ended up empty. by Brian J. Murrell.
- Internally generated responses now contain a text/plain part that repeats
the status line. They also have a "Client-Warning" header that can be
used to differentiate these responses from real server responses.
- LWP::UserAgent now deals with 303 and 307 redirects. The behaviour of 302
redirects has also changed to be like 303; i.e. change the method to be
"GET". This is what most browsers do. Tom Hughes <[email protected]>
- LWP::UserAgent now implements a 'max_redirect' attribute with a default
value of 7. This should also fix the problem where redirects to the
same URL to get a cookie didn't work. Sean M. Burke <[email protected]>.
- NTLM authentication should continue to fail if the Authen::NTLM module
can't be loaded. LWP used to think the scheme was available as soon as
the module stash showed up. Not it looks for the authenticate method to
be defined. Patch by Jan Dubois.
- lwp-download will not try to rename *.tbz and *.tar.bz2 to match the
reported content type. Robin Barker <[email protected]>.
- HTTP::Cookies::Netscape documentation fix by Sean M. Burke.
- HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft documentation fix by Johnny Lee.
- The code that tries to avoid installing 'HEAD' on top of 'head' on
systems like Mac OS was further improved to look in
$Config{installscript} instead of $Config{sitebin}. Patch provided by
Ken Williams <[email protected]>.
5.71 2003-10-14
- Support open-ended Range: header for ftp requests. Patch by Matthew
Eldridge <[email protected]>.
- lwp-request now prints unsuccessful responses in the same way as
successful ones. The status will still indicate failures.
Steve Hay <[email protected]>.
- HTML::Form's dump now also print alternative value names.
- HTML::Form will now pick up the phrase after a <input type=radio> or
<input type=checkbox> and use that as the name of the checked value.
- HTML::Form's find_input now returns all inputs that match in array
context. Based on patch by Mark Stosberg <[email protected]> in
<http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=3320>.
- HTTP::Daemon's send_file() method did not work when given a file name.
Patch by Dave W. Smith <[email protected]>.
- HTTP::Daemon is less strict about field names in the request headers is
received. The Norton Internet Security firewall apparently likes to
send requests with a header called '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'. Further details
in <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2531>.
- LWP::Protocol::http assumed $1 would be meaningful without testing the
outcome of the match. This sometimes produced an extra garbage
Authentication header. Based on the patch by <[email protected]>
in <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=1994>.
- LWP::Protocol::mailto will try harder to locate the sendmail program as
suggested in <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2363>. Also
let $ENV{SENDMAIL} override the search.
- Patch to enable OS/2 build by Ilya Zakharevich.

- File::Listing::apache by Slaven Rezic <[email protected]>
- HEAD requests now work properly for ftp: URLs.
Patch by Ville Skyttä <[email protected]>.
- LWP::UserAgent: protocols_allowed() and protocols_forbidden() are now
case-insensitive. Patch by Ville Skyttä <[email protected]>.
- Avoid warning from HTTP::Date on certain invalid dates. Patch by
David Dick <[email protected]>.
- HTML::Form::param() is an alternative interface for inspecting/modifying
the form values. It resembles the interface of CGI.
- HTML::Form docs updated by Martin Thurn <[email protected]>.
- HTML::Form will treat any unknown input types as text input. This appears
to be what most browsers do.
- HTML::Form::parse() can now take a HTTP::Response object as argument.
- The "checkbox" and "option" inputs of HTML::Form can now be turned on with
the new check() method.
- The inputs of HTML::Form can now track alternative value names and allow
values to be set by these names as well. Currently this is only
supported for "option" inputs.
- HTML::Form's dump() method now print the name of the form if present.
5.69 2003-01-24
- Include lwptut.pod contributed by Sean M. Burke C<[email protected]>.

a little weight on the order of features in the Accept headers.
- LWP::UserAgent: make sure that the 'request' attribute is always set on
the returned response.
- LWP::Protocol::http will now allow certain bad headers in the responses
it reads. The bad headers end up in the header 'Client-Junk'.
