= Changes in 2.2.2 =
Oct 17, 2011 - version 2.2.2
* Bug fixes
* Do not sort query params on request: Wrongly sorted query params for
easier debugging but the order of request parameter should be
preserved. #65
* Changes
* Set responce String encoding if possible. Parse content-type response
header with some helps from OpenURI::Meta and set response String
encoding. #26
* Improve connection cache strategy. Reuse cached session in MRU order,
not in LRU. MRU is more server friendly than LRU because it reduces
number of cached sessions when a number of requests drops after an
usaage spike.
With reusing sessions in LRU order, all sessions are equally checked if
it's closed or not, as far as there's a request to the same site. With
reusing sessions in MRU order, old cold sessions are kept in cache long
time even if there's a request to the same site. To avoid this leakage,
this version adds keep_alive_timeout property and let SessionManager
scrub all sessions with checking the timeout for each session. When the
session expires against the last used time, it's closed and collected.
keep_alive_timeout is 15[sec] by default. The value is from the default
value for KeepAliveTimeout of Apache httpd 2. #68#69
== Changes
= Changes in 2.2.1 =
Jun 2, 2011 - version 2.2.1
* Bug fixes
* For Lighttpd + PUT/POST support, do not send a request using chunked
encoding when IO respond to :size, File for example.
- There is no need to send query with Transfer-Encoding: chuncked when
IO respond to :size.
- Lighttpd does not support PUT, POST with Transfer-Encoding: chuncked.
You will see that the lighty respond with 200 OK, but there is a file
whose size is zero.
LIMITATION:
timeout occurs certainly when you send very large file and
@send_timeout is default since HTTPClient::Session#query() assumes
that *all* write are finished in @send_timeout sec not each write.
WORKAROUND:
increment @send_timeout and @receive_timeout or set @send_timeout and
@receive_timeout to 0 not to be timeout.
This fix is by TANABE Ken-ichi <nabeken@tknetworks.org>. Thanks!
* Allow empty http_proxy ENV variable. Just treat it the same as if it's
nil/unset. This fix is by Ash Berlin <ash_github@firemirror.com>.
Thanks!
* Check EOF while reading chunked response and close the session. It
raised NoMethodError.
* Changes
* Updated trusted CA certificates file (cacert.p7s and cacert_sha1.p7s).
CA certs are imported from
'Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_25-b06)'.
* Changed default chunk size from 4K to 16K. It's used for reading size
at a time.

= Changes in 2.2.0 =
Apr 8, 2011 - version 2.2.0
* Features
* Add HTTPClient#cookies as an alias of #cookie_manager.cookies.
* Add res.cookies method. It returns parsed cookie in response header.
It's different from client.cookie_manager.cookies. Manager keeps
persistent cookies in it.
* Add res.headers method which returns a Hash of headers.
Hash key and value are both String. Each key has a single value so you
can't extract exact value when a message has multiple headers like
'Set-Cookie'. Use header['Set-Cookie'] for that purpose.
(It returns an Array always)
* Allow keyword style argument for HTTPClient#get, post, etc.
Introduced keywords are: :body, :query, and :header.
You can write
HTTPClient.get(uri, :header => {'X-custom' => '1'})
instead of;
HTTPClient.get(uri, nil, {'X-custom' => '1'})
* Add new keyword argument :follow_redirect to get/post. Now you can
follow redirection response with passing :follow_redirect => true.
* [INCOMPAT] Rename HTTPClient::HTTP::Message#body to #http_body, then
add #body as an alias of #content. It's incompatible change though
users rarely depends on this method. (I've never seen such a case)
Users who are using req.body and/or res.body should follow this
change. (req.http_body and res.http_body)
* Bug fixes
* Reenable keep-alive for chunked response.
This feature was disabled by c206b687952e1ad3e20c20e69bdbd1a9cb38609e at
2008-12-09. I should have written a test for keep-alive. Now I added it.
Thanks Takahiro Nishimura(@dr_taka_n) for finding this bug.
