1.4.4
Development of HTTP_Request package is halted, only bug fixing will be done.
Please submit feature requests for HTTP_Request2 package.
Fixes:
* Improved memory usage of _buildRequest() method (bug #14574)
* Clarified documentation for addFile() method to mention that it is useful
only for POST method file uploads (bug #14635)
* Do not send "Content-Length: 0" header for methods other than
POST and PUT, as some servers may return error 400 (bug #14740)
1.4.3
* Added possibility to get reason phrase from HTTP response (request #12352)
* PHP 4.2.0 should be the minimal PHP version (bug #12354), also updated other
dependencies' versions to saner values
* Send a Content-Length header in request even if body is empty (request #12900)
* Do not pass length parameter to gzinflate(), it could cause problems in some
corner cases (bugs #13135, #14370)
* Return an error if trying to do a HTTPS request without OpenSSL support
(bug #14127)
* Do not stop reading chunked response body prematurely (bug #14200)
1.4.2
* The final CRLF was not properly added to request headers on POST request
with no post data (Thanks to Brock Weaver)
* Added error codes (request #12335, thanks to Joe Stump for the patch)
* HTTP_Request sent broken requests on redirects with no trailing slash
(bug #12308, thanks to Joe Stump for the patch)
* Requests with a body consisting of only a symbol '0' were sent without body
(reported privately by Sam Ghods)
* download-progress.php example was broken since 1.4.0 due to addition of
'connect' and 'disconnect' events. Now works again.
1.4.1
* Removed bogus parameter for getURL() (Bug #9586, thanks to Martin Jansen)
* Improved API documentation (Bug #9984, thanks to Martin Jansen)
* Fixed wrong Content-Length if using mbstring function overloading (bug #10605)
* Fixed bogus "data CRC check failed" error on 64-bit systems (bug #10790,
thanks to Bill Moran)
* Redone the way package handles mbstring function overloading, this will allow
using gzip Content-Encoding when said overloading is switched on
* Added proper header comment blocks, improved phpdoc comments
1.4.0
* Added Keep-Alive support (request #4806), thanks to Justin Patrin for the
initial patch. Please note that "Connection: close" header is still added
by default, you need to explicitly add "Connection: Keep-Alive" header or
remove "Connection" header if using HTTP 1.1
* A new disconnect() method was added which forces disconnection from the
server if Keep-Alive is used. Also two new events are sent to the Listeners:
"connect" and "disconnect"
* Added getUrl() method (request #6589)
* Added method to properly parse header of gzip-encoded data (see RFC 1952).
This takes care of situations when the server adds some additional data
to the header (bug #8245) or sends data that is not gzip-encoded when
"Content-Encoding: gzip" header is present (bug #8213)
* "Proxy-Authorization" header is now properly set by constructor
(bug #5913)
* Fixed doc comments mentioning addBody() method instead of proper setBody()
(bug #5969)
* Fixed erroneous removal of "Content-Type" header from request
(bug #7922)
* Bogus HTTP headers are now ignored (bug #8214)
* Path is set to "/" if an URL without path (http://www.example.com)
is given (bug #8662)
* Moved to package.xml version 2.0
Changes in 1.3.0:
* All request and response headers are now treated case-insensitively,
per RFC 2616 (bug #1045, bug #4367).
* Values of multiple response headers with the same name are combined
into a comma-separated string per RFC 2616 (bug #1045)
* Generate proper closing boundary for multipart/form-data requests,
per RFC 1521 (bug #4397)
* magic_quotes_runtime directive is switched off when performing the
request since it may break file uploads and chunked responses (bug #4543)
* Response::_readChunked() will finish on zero-length chunk rather than
socket eof (patch from bug #3037)
* Added HTTP_Request::setBody() method, deprecated addRawPostData() due to
misleading name. The request body will be sent with all request methods
except those that explicitly forbid this (e.g. TRACE). Data set via
addPostData() / addFile() will only be sent with POST (see request #4716)
Changes in 1.2.4:
* Notice was raised when processing a response containing secure
cookies (bug #2741)
* Warning was raised when processing a response with empty body and
chunked Transfer-encoding (bug #2792)
* Improved inline documentation on constructor parameters (bug #2751)
Adresses PR pkg/34469 by Martin Wilke
all PEAR packages to php?-pear-* and all Apache packages to ap13-* or
ap2-* respectively. Add new variables to simplify the Makefile
handling. Add CONFLICTS on the old names. Reset revisions of bumped
packages. ap-php will now depend on the default Apache and PHP version.
All programs using it have an implicit option of the Apache version
as well.
OK from jlam@ and adrianp@.
Changes since 1.2 include many bugfixes and possibility to add misc. socket
options. Full list http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_Request/download/.
Package requires Net_Socket>=1.0.2 and Net_URL>=1.0.12.
