- Updating package for p5 module LWP to 5.826 from 5.825
Upstream changes:
2009-04-24 Release 5.826
Gisle Aas (2):
Avoid returning stale Content-Type header after message parts have been updated
Don't let content saved to file be affected by the $\ setting
Graeme Thompson (1):
Issues around multipart boundaries [RT#28970]
Mike Schilli (1):
Ignore random _proxy env variables, allow only valid schemes
Slaven Rezic (1):
README.SSL is not anymore available at the linpro.no URL.
john9art (1):
Make LWP::UserAgent constructor honor the default_headers option [RT#16637]
- removed packages p5-IO-Compress-Base, p5-IO-Compress-Zlib,
p5-IO-Compress-Bzip2 and p5-Compress-Zlib because they are
merged into p5-IO-Compress
- Updated dependend packages to depend on p5-IO-Compress
and bump PKGREVISION
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()
2009-02-13 Release 5.824

No change in the defaults
of some executable skripts (lwp-*) tell MakeMaker to use the default answers

2007-07-17 Gisle Aas
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"
2005-12-08 Gisle Aas
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.
2005-12-06 Gisle Aas
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.
2004-12-11 Gisle Aas
Release 5.803
HTTP::Message: $mess->decoded_content sometimes had the side
effect of destroying $mess->content.
HTTP::Message: $mess->decoded_content failed for
"Content-Encoding: deflate" if the content was not in the
zlib-format as specified for the HTTP protocol. Microsoft got
this wrong, so we have to support raw deflate bytes as well.
HTTP::Response->parse don't require the protocol to be
specified any more. This allows HTTP::Response->parse($resp->as_string)
to round-trip. Patch by Harald Joerg.
HTTP::Response: $resp->base might now return undef. Previously
it would croak if there was no associated request. Based on
patch by Harald Joerg.
HTML::Form now support <label> for check- and radio boxes.
Patch contributed by Dan Kubb.
Make HTTP::Daemon subclassable, patch by Kees Cook.
lwp-download allow directory to save into to be specified.
Patch by Radoslaw Zielinski
lwp-download will validate filename derived from server
controlled data and will fail if something looks not
quite right.
2004-11-30 Gisle Aas
Release 5.802
The HTTP::Message object now have a decoded_content() method.
This will return the content after any Content-Encodings and
charsets has been decoded.
Compress::Zlib is now a prerequisite module.
HTTP::Request::Common: The POST() function created an invalid
Content-Type header for file uploads with no parameters.
Net::HTTP: Allow Transfer-Encoding with trailing whitespace.
<http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=3929>
Net::HTTP: Don't allow empty content to be treated as a valid
HTTP/0.9 response.
<http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=4581>
<http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=6883>
File::Protocol::file: Fixup directory links in HTML generated
for directories. Patch by Moshe Kaminsky
Makefile.PL will try to discover misconfigured systems that
can't talk to themselves and disable tests that depend on this.
Makefile.PL will now default to 'n' when asking about whether
to install the "GET", "HEAD", "POST" programs. There has been
too many name clashes with these common names.
2004-11-12 Gisle Aas
Release 5.801
HTTP::Message improved content/content_ref interaction. Fixes
DYNAMIC_FILE_UPLOAD and other uses of code content in requests.
HTML::Form:
- Handle clicking on nameless image.
- Don't let $form->click invoke a disabled submit button.
HTTP::Cookies could not handle a "old-style" cookie named
"Expires".
HTTP::Headers work-around for thread safety issue in perl <= 5.8.4.
HTTP::Request::Common improved documentation.
LWP::Protocol: Check that we can write to the file specified in
$ua->request(..., $file) or $ua->mirror.
LWP::UserAgent clone() dies if proxy was not set. Patch by
Andy Lester
HTTP::Methods now avoid "use of uninitialized"-warning when server
replies with incomplete status line.
lwp-download will now actually tell you why it aborts if it runs
out of disk space of fails to write some other way.
WWW::RobotRules: only display warning when running under 'perl -w'
and show which robots.txt file they correspond to. Based on
patch by Bill Moseley.
WWW::RobotRules: Don't empty cache when agent() is called if the
agent name does not change. Patch by Ville Skyttä
2004-06-16 Gisle Aas
Release 5.800
HTML::Form will allow individual menu entries to be disabled.
This was needed to support <input type=radio disabled value=foo>
and <select><option disabled>foo.
HTML::Form now avoids name clashes between the <select> and
<option> attributes.
HTML::Form now implicitly close <select> elements when it sees
another input or </form>. This is closer to the MSIE behaviour.
HTML::Form will now "support" keygen-inputs. It will not
calculate a key by itself. The user will have to set its
value for it to be returned by the form.
HTTP::Headers now special case field names that start with a
':'. This is used as an escape mechanism when you need the
header names to not go through canonicalization. It means
that you can force LWP to use a specific casing and even
underscores in header names. The ugly $TRANSLATE_UNDERSCORE
global has been undocumented as a result of this.
HTTP::Message will now allow an external 'content_ref'
to be set. This can for instance be used to let HTTP::Request
objects pick up content data from some scalar variable without
having to copy it.
HTTP::Request::Common. The individual parts will no longer
have a Content-Length header for file uploads. This improves
compatibility with "normal" browsers.
LWP::Simple doc patch for getprint.
Contributed by Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes
LWP::UserAgent: New methods default_header() and
default_headers(). These can be used to set up headers that
are automatically added to requests as they are sent. This
can for instance be used to initialize various Accept headers.
Various typo fixes by Ville Skyttä
Fixed test failure under perl-5.005.
LWP::Protocol::loopback: This is a new protocol handler that
works like the HTTP TRACE method, it will return the request
provided to it. This is sometimes useful for testing. It can
for instance be invoked by setting the 'http_proxy' environment
variable to 'loopback:'.
2004-04-13 Gisle Aas
Release 5.79
HTML::Form now exposes the 'readonly' and 'disabled'
attribute for inputs. This allows your program to simulate
JavaScript code that modifies these attributes.
RFC 2616 says that http: referer should not be sent with
https: requests. The lwp-rget program, the $req->referer method
and the redirect handling code now try to enforce this.
Patch by Ville Skyttä
WWW::RobotRules now look for the string found in
robots.txt as a case insensitive substring from its own
User-Agent string, not the other way around.
Patch by Ville Skyttä
HTTP::Headers: New method 'header_field_names' that
return a list of names as suggested by its name.
HTTP::Headers: $h->remove_content_headers will now
also remove the headers "Allow", "Expires" and
"Last-Modified". These are also part of the set
that RFC 2616 denote as Entity Header Fields.
HTTP::Headers: $h->content_type is now more careful
in removing embedded space in the returned value.
It also now returns all the parameters as the second
return value as documented.
HTTP::Headers: $h->header() now croaks. It used to
silently do nothing.
HTTP::Headers: Documentation tweaks. Documented a
few bugs discovered during testing.
Typo fixes to the documentation all over the place
by Ville Skyttä
Updated tests.

Release 5.78
Removed stray Data::Dump reference from test suite.
Added the parse(), clear(), parts() and add_part() methods to
HTTP::Message. The HTTP::MessageParts module of 5.77 is no more.
Added clear() and remove_content_headers() methods to
HTTP::Headers.
The as_string() method of HTTP::Message now appends a newline
if called without arguments and the non-empty content does
not end with a newline. This ensures better compatibility with
5.76 and older versions of libwww-perl.
Use case insensitive lookup of hostname in $ua->credentials.

Release 5.77
LWP::Simple did not handle redirects properly when the "Location"
header used uncommon letter casing.
Patch by Ward Vandewege
LWP::UserAgent passed the wrong request to redirect_ok().
Patch by Ville Skyttä
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=5828
LWP did not handle URLs like http://www.example.com?foo=bar
properly.
LWP::RobotUA construct now accept key/value arguments in the
same way as LWP::UserAgent.
Based on patch by Andy Lester
LWP::RobotUA did not parse robots.txt files that contained
"Disallow:" using uncommon letter casing.
Patch by Liam Quinn
WWW::RobotRules now allow leading space when parsing robots.txt
file as suggested by Craig Macdonald
We now also allow space before the colon.

The bundled media.types file now match video/quicktime
with the .mov extension, as suggested by Michel Koppelaar
Experimental support for composite messages, currently
implemented by the HTTP::MessageParts module. Based on
ideas from Joshua Hoblitt
Fixed libscan in Makefile.PL.
Patch by Andy Lester
The HTTP::Message constructor now accept a plain array reference
as its $headers argument.
The return value of the HTTP::Message as_string() method now
better conforms to the HTTP wire layout. No additional "\n"
are appended to the as_string value for HTTP::Request and
HTTP::Response. The HTTP::Request as_string now replace missing
method or URI with "-" instead of "[NO METHOD]" and "[NO URI]".
We don't want values with spaces in them, because it makes it
harder to parse.
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.
addresses PR pkg/28619 from H. Todd Fujinaka.
Changes :
- Include lwptut.pod contributed by Sean M. Burke C<sburke@cpan.org>.
- The lwp-request aliases GET, HEAD, POST where installed when
- no program should be. Fixed by David Miller <dave@justdave.net>.
- lwp-rget --help don't print double usage any more.
- HTTP::Header::Util is now more reluctant to put quotes around
token values.
- Net::HTTP: Avoid warning on unexpected EOF when reading chunk
header.

- Updated maintainer email
HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft, makes it possible for LWP to share MSIE's cookies.
HTML::Form supports file upload better now. There are some new methods on
that kind of input; file(), filename(), content() and headers().
Net::HTTP avoids exceptions in read_response_headers() with laxed option.
New LWP::DebugFile, LWP::Authen::Ntml
The format_chunk() and write_chunk() methods of Net::HTTP did not work.
The Client-Peer response header is back.
Make HTTP::Date compatible with perl 5.8.
Try to avoid to default to overwriting /usr/bin/head on MacOS X when the
perl install prefix is /usr/bin.
HTTP::Negotiate doc patch.
