Steffen Ullrich (1):
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

fix: auth-header of Digest auth did not conform to

_______________________________________________________________________________
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.

_______________________________________________________________________________
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.
This will abort the current request and make LWP return the raised response.

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".

2008-10-20 Release 5.819
Release 5.815 to 5.818 had a severe bug that sometimes made LWP not
collect all data for the responses it received. This release is
strongly recommended as an upgrade for those releases.
Gisle Aas (2):
Don't override $Net::HTTPS::SSL_SOCKET_CLASS if it's already set.
Wrong content handlers would sometimes be skipped [RT#40187]
_______________________________________________________________________________
2008-10-16 Release 5.818
Main news in this release is the addition of the dump() method to the
request and response objects. If found that I often ended up printing
$resp->as_string for debugging and then regretting after the terminal
got into a strange mode or just kept on scrolling for the longest
time.
Gisle Aas (8):
Use deflate compression instead of gzip for the test
Simplify; Get rid of the $USE_STORABLE_DCLONE configuration
Add dump method to HTTP::Message.
Use $res->dump instead of rolling our own.

Slaven Rezic (1):
clone implemented in terms of Storable::dclone [RT#39611]
_______________________________________________________________________________
2008-10-10 Release 5.817
This is the release where I played around with Devel::NYTProf to
figure where time was actually spent during the processing of requests
with LWP. The methods that manipulated header objects stood out, so
this release contains a few tweaks to make those parts faster.
I also figured a few convenience methods to encode and decode the
content of request/response objects would be in order.
Gisle Aas (16):
Should store "wire" headers field names with _ without translation.
Test HTTP::Request->parse().
Restore pre-5.815 behaviour of returning "400 Bad Request" [RT#39694]
Rename the HTTP::Status constants to have HTTP_ prefix

Add content_is_xml method
Make split_header_words() lower case returned tokens/keys
Avoid invoking AUTOLOAD on object destruction [RT#39852]

Add encode() method to HTTP::Message
Allow multiple fields to be set with push_header().
Make content_type and content_is_xhtml methods faster
Faster push_header()

Oops, release 5.815 broke download-to-file on Windows.
Gisle Aas (2):
Add missing binmode() [RT#39668]
Doc tweaks
_______________________________________________________________________________
2008-09-24 Release 5.815
The main change this time is the introduction of handlers to drive the
processing of requests in LWP::UserAgent. You can also register your
own handlers for modifying and processing requests or responses on
their way, which I think is a much more flexible approach that trying
to subclass LWP::UserAgent to customize it. If we have had these
early on then the LWP::UserAgent API could have been so much simpler
as the effect of most current attributes can easily be set up with
trivial handlers.
Also thanks to contributions by Bron Gondwana LWP's Basic/Digest
authenticate modules now registers handlers which allow them to
automatically fill in the Authorization headers without first taking
the round-trip of a 401 response when LWP knows the credentials for a
given realm.
Gisle Aas (23):
We don't need to build the docs to run the tests.
Style tweaks.
The jigsaw service isn't up to much good these days.
HTTP::Cookies produces warnings for undefined cookie param names [RT#38480]
Typo fix; HTTP::Message will never include x-bzip2 in Accept-Encoding [RT#38617]

Add methods to configure processing handlers.
100 Continue response not complete.
Use 3-arg open when response content to files.
Make the show_progress attribute official (by documenting it).
Start using handlers for driving the inner logic of LWP::UserAgent.
Expose the content_is_html and content_is_xhtml methods from HTTP::Headers.
Make credentials method able to get/set values.
An auth handler per realm.
Match proxy setting for request.
Set up separate handler for adding proxy authentication.
Add request_preprepare to be able to initialize proxy early enough.
Smarter get_my_handler() that can also create handlers.
Refactor; introduce run_handlers method
Pass in handler hash to the handler callback.
Don't let version=1 override behaviour if specified with a plan Set-Cookie header.
Remove handler when we don't have a username/password for the realm.
Make tests use Test.pm
