* #144 Add User-Agent field by default. You can remove the header by
setting nil to HTTPClient#agent_name.

* #138 Revert Timeout change unintentionally included in v2.3.1. It's
reported that the change causes background processes not terminated
properly.

* Changes
* #137 Signing key is expiring for cacert_sha1.p7s.
Deleted p7s signature check for default cacerts. Sorry for many troubles
in the past. This feature is not useful without having online/real-time
CA certs update but I don't think I can implement it in near future.
Users depend on this signature check (who puts cacert.p7s in R/W
filesystem and ssl_config.rb in R/O filesystem) should take care the
tampering by themself.
* Bug fixes
* #122 Support IPv6 address in URI
= Changes in 2.3.0 =
October 10, 2012 - version 2.3.0
* Features
* Added debug mode CLI. bin/httpclient is installed as CLI.
Usage: 1) % httpclient get https://www.google.co.jp/ q=ruby
Usage: 2) %httpclient
For 1) it issues a GET request to the given URI and shows the wiredump
and the parsed result. For 2) it invokes irb shell with the binding
that has a HTTPClient as 'self'. You can call HTTPClient instance
methods like;
> get "https://www.google.co.jp/", :q => :ruby
* #119 Addressable gem support (only if it exists); should handle IRI
properly.
* Bug fixes
* #115 Cookies couldn't work properly if the path in an URI is ommited.
* #112, #117 Proper handling of sized IO (the IO object that responds to
:size) for chunked POST. HTTPClient did read till EOF even if the
given IO has :size method.
* Handle '303 See Other' properly. RFC2616 says it should be redirected
with GET.
* #116 Fix "100-continue" support. It was just ignored.
* #118 Support for boolean values when making POST/PUT requests with
multiipart/form Content-Type.
* #110 Allows leading dots in no_proxy hostname suffixes.

= Changes in 2.2.7 =
August 14, 2012 - version 2.2.7
* Bug fixes
* Fix arity incompatibility introduced in 2.2.6. It broke Webmock.
Thanks Andrew France for the report!
= Changes in 2.2.6 =
August 14, 2012 - version 2.2.6
* Bug fixes
* Make get_content doesn't raise a BadResponseError for perfectly good
responses like 304 Not Modified. Thanks to Florian Hars.
* Add 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' for the PUT
request that has urlencoded entity-body.
* Features
* Add HTTPClient::IncludeClient by Jonathan Rochkind, a mix-in for easily
adding a thread-safe lazily initialized class-level HTTPClient object
to your class.
* Proxy DigestAuth support. Thanks to Alexander Kotov and Florian Hars.
* Accept an array of strings (and IO-likes) as a query value
e.g. `{ x: 'a', y: [1,2,3] }` is encoded into `"x=a&y=1&y=2&y=3"`.
Thanks to Akinori MUSHA.
* Allow body for DELETE method.
* Allow :follow_redirect => true for HEAD request.
* Fill request parameters request_method, request_uri and request_query
as part of response Message::Header.
= Changes in 2.2.5 =
May 06, 2012 - version 2.2.5
* Bug fixes
* Added Magic encoding comment to hexdump.rb to avoid encoding error.
* Add workaround for JRuby issue on Windows (JRUBY-6136)
On Windows, calling File#size fails with an Unknown error (20047).
This workaround uses File#lstat instead.
* Require open-uri only on ruby 1.9, since it is not needed on 1.8.
* Features
* Allow symbol Header name for HTTP request.
* Dump more SSL certificate information under $DEBUG.
* Add HTTPClient::SSLConfig#ssl_version property.
* Add 'Accept: */*' header to request by default. Rails requies it.
It doesn't override given Accept header from API.
* Add HTTPClient::SSLConfig#set_default_paths. This method makes
HTTPClient instance to use OpenSSL's default trusted CA certificates.
* Allow to set Date header manually.
ex. clent.get(uri, :header => {'Date' => Time.now.httpdate})
= Changes in 2.2.4 =
Dec 08, 2011 - version 2.2.4
* Bug fixes
* Do not recycle buffer String object for yielding. When the response is
not chunked and the size of the response > 16KB, API with block style
yields recycled String object for each yields.
* Set VERSION string in User-Agent header. $Id$ didn't work long time...
Bugs are reported by Seamus Abshere. Thanks!
While here, install document again.

= 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.
switch to use gem.
= 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.
