- 2.38 | 2014-10-08
- bug-report address changed
Please send bug reports to the address shown by running command:
./configure --help
Mail sent to the previous address is likely to be misplaced.
- bugfixes
- ‘parse-form’ uses ‘list’ instead of ‘values’
NB: Backward-incompatible change.
Previously, this ‘(www server-utils form-2-form)’ proc would use
‘values’ for form elements that have type info, consing the
result into the returned alist. Unfortunately, use of ‘values’
outside a ‘call-with-values’ context (e.g., as a container, as
in this case) is not supported by Guile 2.x.
Now, the four pieces of type info are packaged w/ ‘list’.
- support for VPATH "make check"
Previously VPATH "make check" failed to initialize each test's
infrastructure (i.e., v/common). Now it takes into account the
configure-substituted and Makefile var ‘srcdir’ as well.
- new optional arg ‘u8’
- ‘(www url-coding) url-coding:decode’
This proc now takes an optional arg U8, which if non-‘#f’, means
to return a u8vector instead of a string.
- ‘(www server-utils parse-request) alist<-query’
This proc now takes an optionl arg U8, which if non-‘#f’, means
to return u8vectors instead of strings for names and values.
- changes to ‘(www server-utils form-2-form) parse-form’
- non-string args ok
The first arg can now be a form:
((multipart . MINOR) PARAMETER...)
i.e., the parsed form of the Content-Type header's value.
Relatedly, the arg's documented name is now simply TYPE.
The second arg can now be an integer specifying the number of
bytes to read from the current input port.
For backward compatibility, TYPE and RAW-DATA can also be
strings.
- sub ‘multipart/mixed’ better recognized
Previously, a (sub) part w/ "Content-Type: multiPART / miXed"
(for instance) would be handled opaquely. Now, such a header is
properly recognized and recursed into. Sigh, one has to wonder:
Will there ever be a more tightly specified MIME 2.0?
- CGI file-uploads can now be done in "move u8" style
Proc ‘(www cgi) cgi:init’ now accepts options ‘move’, which
controls how file-uploads are handled. When specified, the
uploaded files are returned as procedures that can be called to
write the actual contents of the file (a u8vector) to a port or
to return those contents directly. This option takes precedence
over ‘uploads-lazy’.
Another new option is ‘move-simple-text/plain’, which only is
meaningful if ‘move’ is also specified. This simplifies the
value of form parameters with MIME type ‘text/plain’ to a
string, discarding other MIME information.
See examples/id.cgi.in for how to use these options.
- "make check" locale support
You can customize (somewhat) the locale that tests use by
manipulating file v/testing-locale. See README.
- bootstrap tools upgraded
- GNU Automake 1.14.1
- Guile-BAUX 20140110.0849.39e9660
- 2.37 | 2013-07-28
- dropped
- example program wwwcat
This trivial program is not so interesting.
- module ‘(www main)’
- proc ‘(www server-utils parse-request) read-first-line’
- proc ‘(www server-utils parse-request) read-headers’
- proc ‘(www server-utils parse-request) skip-headers’
- proc ‘(www server-utils parse-request) read-body’
- proc ‘(www http) http:head’
- proc ‘(www http) http:get’
These were announced in Guile-WWW 2.34 (2012-03-29) NEWS.
- support for values in ‘receive-response’ spec
This was announced in Guile-WWW 2.36 (2012-11-22) NEWS.
- ‘(www url) url:address’ more strict
- ‘(www url) url:unknown’ more strict
Contrary to the Guile-WWW 2.34 (2012-03-29) NEWS blurb, these
two procs are not being deleted. Instead, they persist and now
check their arg for the proper scheme (‘mailto’ and ‘unknown’,
respectively) to better support the (thin) abstraction they
provide over the underlying data structure.
- bootstrap tools upgraded
- GNU Automake 1.13.4
- Guile-BAUX 20130705.0751.4969fb4
Drop sed patch (applied upstream).
- 2.36 | 2012-11-22
- portability fixes
- import some procs explicitly (Guile 1.4.x)
Guile 1.4.x does not implicitly provide, e.g., SRFI 13.
- use appropriate u8 i/o procs
The "compiler" (har har) build-aux/guile-baux/mm, in cahoots w/
the configure script, now tries to DTRT for various versions of
Guile. Precisely:
1.4.x -- custom procs based on ‘read-char’ / ‘display’
1.8 -- uniform-vector-{read!,write} (the "normal" case)
2.x -- custom procs based on those in ‘(ice-9 binary-ports)’
With this change, "make check" under Guile 2.0.6 no longer
displays any deprecation warnings. Any that you might encounter
(for any Guile) is now considered a bug; please report it.
- avoid ‘\n’ in sed ‘s’ RHS (FreeBSD)
This was a problem in the "make check" prep (test harness).
- less "values outside ‘call-with-values’ context"
Another case was found, but this was internal. Perhaps others
lurk -- why doesn't Someone just do a formal audit already?!
- bootstrap tools upgrade
- GNU Automake 1.12.5
- Guile-BAUX 20121120.1242.e233fad
in sed.
In GNU sed, "\n" in the RHS of a substitution becomes a newline.
POSIX says that \n in the RHS is undefined. BSD sed treats it as "n".
Because this is in scheme code, and scheme doesn't care about " " vs
"\n", just substitute a space.
Resolves failure of test cases; now "make test" passes.
(This change has been reported upstream and applied to the upstream VCS.)
- 2.35 | 2012-11-06
- support for "make installcheck"
This does "make check" at its core, so the same env vars apply.
Obviously, you should do "make install" first for sane results.
- ‘receive-response’ spec takes thunk for ‘custom’ handling
This means that instead of using:
(list 'custom (values P1 P2 P3 P4))
to construct a ‘receive-response’ spec, you can use:
(list 'custom (lambda () (values P1 P2 P3 P4)))
In fact, this is now the preferred way, as support for using
‘values’ directly is now deemed a misfeature and marked for
eventual removal (see below).
- tested against Guile 2.0.6
There are some deprecation warnings, however.
- MARKED FOR REMOVAL
- 2013-05-15 support for values in ‘receive-response’ spec
Out of an explicit ‘call-with-values’ context, Guile 2.x will
silently discard all values but the first if the continuation
expects one value only (the common case).
(cons 0 (values 1 2)) => (0 . 1)
Thus, the ‘receive-response’ spec constructed by:
(list 'custom (values P1 P2 P3 P4))
fails to preserve P2, P3, P4 (w/ Guile 2.x). See above for
thunk support, the future-proof way to specify ‘custom’ procs.
- bootstrap tools upgrade
- GNU Autoconf 2.69
- GNU Automake 1.12.4
- Guile-BAUX 20121026.1208.c21074a
- 2.34 | 2012-03-29
- bug fix: unbotch ‘upath->filename-proc’
- bug fix: unbotch ‘log-http-response-proc’
In Guile-WWW 2.33 (2012-02-29), these procs were changed to use
(ice-9 optargs), but the change was botched.
- bug fix: ‘(www http) http:post-form’ reserves ‘#\&’ and ‘#\=’
That is, in the absense of upload specs, the urlencoding for the
key names and values now also includes ampersand and equal sign,
as those used to delimit pairs and separate key and value within
a pair, respectively.
- bug fix: ‘url-coding:encode’ outputs two hex digits for 0-15
Previously, octets 0 through 15 were output as "%0" through
"%f", respectively. Now, they are "%00" through "%0f".
- portability fix: big dishing loop handles #f ‘sockaddr:path’
For Unix domain sockets, some Guile versions have ‘sockaddr:path’
sometimes return the empty string, others ‘#f’.
- ‘(www url) url:parse’ can handle IPv6 addresses
Handling doesn't imply validation, however. For example:
(url:host (url:parse "http://fool@[::ffff:bogus.0.2.1]:42/foo"))
=> "[::ffff:bogus.0.2.1]"
- ‘(... answer) hqf<-upath’ more efficient
The char-set computation has been moved to load-time.
- ‘(... cookies) simple-parse-cookies’ takes optional arg SEP
By default, tokens are ‘#\,’ (comma)-separated. You can use SEP
to specify another character, e.g., ‘#\;’ (semicolon).
- new ‘(www cgi) cgi:init’ option: cookies-split-on-semicolon
If the server provides the CGI script with a "Netscape style"
(i.e., old and deprecated) set of cookies, you can use this
option to split them.
- ‘(www cgi) cgi:getenv’ recognizes some more "idiomatic" names
The following keys now are recognized by ‘cgi:getenv’ (that is,
they no longer signal "unrecognized key" error): ‘server-name’,
‘server-software’, ‘server-protocol’, ‘auth-type’, ‘http-accept’.
Also, the manual now marks those keys that either are aliases,
or return parts of the associated value, of these idiomatic names.
- new (... parse-request) proc: receive-request
This uses the same underlying machinery as ‘receive-response’
from (www http), and thus sports the same features.
Additionally, there is a new ‘request’ type with five accessor
procs: request-{method,upath,protocol-version,headers,body} and
the new predicate ‘request?’.
- new (... log) proc: string<-sockaddr
This formats AF_UNIX or AF_INET addresses (including port).
- new (... answer) proc: compose-response
This is a stripped down variant of ‘mouthpiece’. It uses the
same underlying machinery as ‘send-request’ from (www http) and
thus sports the same features.
- MARKED FOR REMOVAL
- 2012-12-31 module (www main)
- 2012-12-31 (www url) procs
- url:address
- url:unknown
- 2013-02-28 (... parse-request) procs
- read-first-line
- read-headers
- skip-headers
- read-body
- 2013-02-28 (www http) procs
- http:head
- http:get
- test suite expanded
Previously, there was just one test. Now, there are several,
and they are in directory v/ (for "validation", "verification",
"vouchsafed", and so on).
- doc license upgraded to GNU FDL 1.3
- maintenance uses Guile-BAUX 20120309.1509.1c4bb92
- 2.33 | 2012-02-29
- distribution now .tar.xz
If you have GNU tar, you can use "tar xf" and it will DTRT.
If not, you can use "xz -dc TARBALL | tar xf -" to unpack.
- configure no longer checks for some widely-available modules
The modules ‘(ice-9 and-let-star)’, ‘(ice-9 rdelim)’ and
‘(ice-9 regex)’ have been widely-available since Guile 1.4.x.
- configure uses SNUGGLE for cross-Guile portability
SNUGGLE is Free Software: <http://www.gnuvola.org/software/>.
It provides ‘build-aux/snuggle.m4’, which is more amicable than
the various ‘guile.m4’ in the wild.
- dropped ‘(www server-utils answer) string<-header-components’
This was pre-announced below in Guile-WWW 2.28 (2010-06-22).
- changes to (www http)
- bug fix: ‘http:request’ sends message body as-is
This procedure used to erroneously send ‘CRLF’ after each string
specified in BODY. Now, it sends BODY only.
- ‘http:status-ok?’ also accepts numeric arg
E.g., ‘(http:status-ok? 200)’ and ‘(http:status-ok? "200")’
both return ‘#t’.
- ‘http:request’ also accepts a symbolic method
Of course, a string is still acceptable. Additionally, it is
now an error if ‘method’ is neither string nor symbol.
- new procs: ‘send-request’, ‘receive-response’
These give (www http) a more asynchronous feel; it is now
possible to implement pipelining, connection re-use, etc.
Support for "chunked" transfer encoding and other HTTP 1.1 bits
is built-in, although you can explicitly downgrade to 1.0 if you
wish.
Other features: (optional) caller-directed i/o to reduce data
motion; support for ‘u8vector’ body (see example in the docs);
support for custom body type; caller-specifiable header-name
normalization; procedure names w/o "http:" prefix :-D.
- message field types now documented
The message object returned by ‘receive-response’ has a numeric
status-code and header names normalized by the caller.
In contrast, for backward compatability, the message object
returned by ‘http:request’ has a string status-code and
lower-case header names.
(Header names are symbolic in any case.)
- new fluid: protocol-version
This affects how ‘http:request’ calls ‘send-request’ internally.
It also impacts ‘http:get’, ‘http:head’, and ‘http:post-form’,
which call ‘http:request’.
The default value is ‘(1 . 0)’, i.e., HTTP 1.0. The idea is to
support backward compatability out of the box, but allow users
to experimentally do:
(set-fluid! protocol-version '(1 . 1))
without having to modify their current code. (New code
should use ‘send-request’ and ‘receive-response’ directly.)
This is a transitional feature of Guile-WWW 2.x; 3.x will
drop ‘http:request’ (et al) along with the need for this
fluid, entirely.
- (www cgi) recognizes ‘application/x-www-form-urlencoded’ better
Before, Content-Type recognition was over-constrained, failing
to handle parameters (usually of the form "; charset=...").
Things are now more relaxed.
- documentation now explicitly UTF-8
This has no immediate impact, but if you regenerate the .info,
it may be possible that the makeinfo you use will generate nicer
quotes, e.g., ‘foo’ instead of `foo'. Time will tell.
