2011-03-27 Release 6.02
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 prerequsite 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.
Christopher J. Madsen (1):
Ignores env variables when ssl_opts provided [RT#66663]

2011-03-09 Release 6.01
Add missing HTTP::Daemon dependency for the tests.
_______________________________________________________________________________
2011-03-08 Release 6.00
Unbundled all modules not in the LWP:: namespace from the libwww-perl
distribution. The new broken out CPAN distribtions 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 by
setting 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.
--- snip ---
This will abort the current request and make LWP return the raised response.

- Adjusting license to perl license
Upstream changes:
2009-07-07 Release 5.829
This release removes callback handlers that were left over on the returned
HTTP::Responses. This was problematic because it created reference loops
preventing the Perl garbage collector from releasing their memory. 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 class
attribute; for instance $form->value("#foo", 42) will set the value on the
input with the ID of "foo".
Gisle Aas (5):

Upstream changes:
2.017 30 March 2009
* Merged IO-Compress-Base, IO-Compress-Bzip2, IO-Compress-Zlib &
Compress-Zlib into IO-Compress.
* The interface to Compress-Raw-Zlib now uses the new LimitOutput
feature. This will make all of the zlib-related IO-Compress modules
less greedy in their memory consumption.
* Removed MAN3PODS from Makefile.PL
* A few changes to get the test harness to work on VMS courtesy of
Craig. A. Berry.
* IO::Compress::Base & IO::Uncompress::Base
Downgraded some croaks in the constructors to just set $! (by letting
the code attempt to open a file and fail).
This makes the behavior more consistent to a standard open.
[RT #42657]
* IO::Uncompress::Base
Doing a seek with MultiStream could drop some of the uncompressed
data. Fixed.
* IO::Compress::Zip
- Fixed problem with the uncompressed & uncompressed fields when
zip64 is enabled. They were set to 0x0000FFFF instead of
0xFFFFFFFF. Also the ZIP64 extra field was 4 bytes short.
Problem spotted by Dino Chiesa.
* IO::Uncompress::Unzip
- use POSIX::mktime instead of Time::Local::timelocal to convert
the zip DOS time field into Unix time.
* Compress::Zlib
- Documented Compress::Zlib::zlib_version()

aliases on Darwin.
No change in the defaults
of some executable skripts (lwp-*) tell MakeMaker to use the default answers
provided in Makefile.PL.
This should solve PR pkg/30737 from Joern Clausen.

Release 5.806
Added progress callback to LWP::UserAgent.
HTTP::Daemon didn't avoid content in responses to HEAD requests
Add support for HTTP Expect header to HTTP::Daemon (CPAN RT #27933)
Fix t/base/message.t so tests are skipped if Encode is not
installed. (CPAN RT #25286)
Add HTML::Tagset as a prerequisite to Makefile.PL
Do not clobber $_ in LWP::Protocol::nntp (CPAN RT #25132)
Fix lwp-download so it can download files with an "_" in the filename
(CPAN RT#26207)
Quiet complaints from HTML::HeadParser when dealing with undecoded
UTF-8 data. (CPAN RT#20274)
When both IO::Socket::SSL and Net::SSL are loaded, use the latter
(CPAN RT #26152)
Allows SSL to work much more reliably:
(CPAN RT #23372)
Allow text/vnd.wap.wml and application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text
in content-type field in lwp-request (CPAN RT #26151)
Add default media type for XML in LWP::MediaTypes (CPAN RT #21093)
Added chunked test by Andreas J. Koenig
to fix https:// URLs broken with update of security/p5-IO-Socket-SSL
to 0.997 - behaviour was a null socket object returned in LWP::Agent
which was a joy to track down. Remember: "hidden perl dependencies
can expose you to perl code which may make your eyes bleed"

Release 5.805
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 $h->header function now also accept repeating field
names and can also remove headers if passed undef as value.
HTML::Form: The parse method now takes hash style optional
arguments and the old verbose behaviour is now off by default.
HTML::Form: Accept <select multiple=""> for compatibilty with
other browsers. Patch by Josh Rai
HTML::Form: Sane handling of 'disabled' for ListInput.
Based on patch by Joao Lopes
HTTP::Negotiate: Fixed matching of partial language tags.
Patch contributed by Dan Kubb.
HTTP::Response: The as_string method now returns a status line
that doesn't add the "official" code name in the message
field. This improves the ability to round-trip response objects
via HTTP::Response->parse($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.

Release 5.804
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.
LWP::Protocol::nntp improvements by Ville Skyttä
- 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
Detect EOF when expecting a chunk header. Should address the
warnings shown in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=286775
WWW::RobotRules: Improved parsing of not strictly valid robots.txt files
Makefile.PL: Set name to LWP so that the .packlist ends up in the
expected place.
