2015-12-15 Release 6.15
(special thanks to Chase Whitener for testing many of these changes out in
6.14_001!)
Graham Knop (1):
- tests now use localhost rather than a net-accessible address (PR#76)
Michael Schwern (1):
- fixed some tests to do what they intended (regex rather than boolean
checks) (from PR#28)
Joe Atzberger (2):
- conversion of some tests from Test.pm to Test::More (from PR#29)
Piotr Roszatycki (1):
- use File::Temp for randomized tempdir (PR#53)
{perl>=5.16.6,p5-ExtUtils-ParseXS>=3.15}:../../devel/p5-ExtUtils-ParseXS
since pkgsrc enforces the newest perl version anyway, so they
should always pick perl, but sometimes (pkg_add) don't due to the
design of the {,} syntax.
No effective change for the above reason.

correct behavior for https_proxy,
e.g. don't send plain https:// requests to proxy, but instead establish
CONNECT tunnel and then send requests inside tunnel.
This change does together with a change in LWP::Protocol::https.
The change supports LWP::Protocol::https with the default
IO::Socket::SSL backend, but also with Net::SSL. Also:
- proxy authorization is supported (http://user:pass@host:port as proxy
URL, Net::SSL still needs special HTTPS_PROXY_* environemt variables,
as before)
- CONNECT request does not need to be the first request inside the
tunnel (not with Net::SSL)
- conn_cache is read and written inside request(), instead of writing in
request() and reading in _new_socket(). If a https tunnel is
established the cache_key no longer depends only on proxy host,port
but also on the tunnel endpoint
- CONNECT is a proxy request and must always use Proxy-Authorization,
not Authorization header
turugina (1):
fix: auth-header of Digest auth did not conform to
RFC 2617 when WWW-Authenticate has 'qop' parameter.

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.

Ignores env variables when ssl_opts provided [RT#66663]

_______________________________________________________________________________
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.

or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after

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".
