Changes are:
o Y2K fix to t/base/cookies.t. Netscape's original cookie
example expires at 09-Nov-99.
o Unbundled URI::URL modules. You now have to install the
URI.pm module in order to get libwww-perl working.
o Avoid warnings for lwp-request -t
o referrer as alternative spelling for referer as suggested by tchrist.
o More conservative selection of boundary for multipart messages
in &HTTP::Request::Common::POST.
o LWP::MediaTypes can now export &read_media_types.
o Spelling corrections from Ben Tilly <Ben_Tilly@trepp.com>
o The LWP SSL support better explained. Documentation in README.SSL
and lwpcook.pod contributed by Marko Asplund <aspa@hip.fi>.
o LWP::Protocol::https: Try loading IO::Socket::SSL if Net::SSL is
not available.
o defined(@ISA) eliminated. Patch by Nathan Torkington <gnat@frii.com>
o LWP::Protocol::ftp: Protect against empty path_segments
o 'lwp-request -HUser-Agent:foo' can now be used to set this
header too.
o Localize $/ to ensure standard record separator a few places
in HTTP::Cookies
o LWP::UserAgent will now set the Range header in requests if
the $ua->max_size attribute is set.
o New lwp-request command line option that allow you to put any
header into the request (-H).
o New HTTP::Date because of Y2K-problems with the old one.
It refused to parse the ftp-listing (ls -l) dates missing year.
Additional entry point is parse_date(). This function avoid any
limitations caused by the time-representation (seconds since
epoch).
o Added another binmode() to LWP::Protocol::file as suggested
by Matt Sergeant <matt-news@sergeant.org>
o Documentation patch from Michael A. Chase <mchase@ix.netcom.com>
o PREREQ_PM patch from Andreas Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
o LWP::Simple::head fix by Richard Chen <richard@lexitech.com>
o Allow "." in HTTP header names. Patch by Marc Langheinrich
<marc@ccm.cl.nec.co.jp>
o Fixed reference to $uri->netloc in lwp-request
o Cute animation in lwp-download
o HTTP::Cookies provide better Netscape cookies compliance.
Send back cookies to any port, and allow origin host name to
be specified as domain, and still be treated as a domain.
Patch from Andreas Gustafsson <gson@araneus.fi>.
o HTTP::Cookies now ignore the Expires field in Set-Cookie, if the
date provided can't be parsed by HTTP::Date.
o HTTP::Daemon will lowercase the hostname returned from
Sys::Hostname::hostname(). This avoid some test failures in
the test suite for people with upper- or mixed-cased hostnames.
o LWP::Protocol::gopher: IO::Socket::INET ctor did not specify
Proto => 'tcp'. This made it less portable to older IO::Socket
versions.
o No programs installed when you build the Makefile with
'perl Makefile.PL LIB=/my/lib'
o LWP bundle mention Digest::MD5 instead of MD5
o headers-auth.t test suite bug triggered by perl5.005_5x.
Patch by Albert Dvornik <bert@genscan.com>
o The local/http.t test actually did try to unlink("."). This was
very confusing on systems where it succeed.
o Made library URI.pm compatible. Made all URI object instantiations
based on $HTTP::URI_CLASS variable.
o New lwp-rget option: --referer.
Patch by INOUE Yoshinari <inoue@kusm.kyoto-u.ac.jp>.
o One more binmode() to HTTP::Daemon as suggested by
Markus Laker <mlaker@contax.co.uk>.
