I'm trying to go through my backlog of bug reports and patches for
LWP. Today I've been fixing HTML::Form issues, and I've just uploaded
libwww-perl-5.70 as snapshot of this work-in-progress. I expect more
releases to come out soon.
The changes that made it to v5.70 where:
File::Listing::apache by Slaven Rezic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
HEAD requests now work properly for ftp: URLs.
Patch by Ville Skyttä <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
LWP::UserAgent: The protocols_allowed() and protocols_forbidden()
methods are now case insensitive. Patch by Ville Skyttä
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
Avoid warning from HTTP::Date on certain invalid dates.
Patch by David Dick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
HTML::Form::param() is an alternative interface for inspecting
and modifying the form values. It resembles the interface
of CGI.
HTML::Form documentation updated. Lots of typo fixes and improves
by Martin Thurn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
HTML::Form will treat any unknown input types as text input.
This appears to be what most browsers do.
HTML::Form::parse() can now take an HTTP::Response object
as argument.
The "checkbox" and "option" inputs of HTML::Form can now be
turned on with the new check() method.
The inputs of HTML::Form can now track alternative value
names and allow values to be set by these names as well.
Currently this is only used for "option" inputs.
HTML::Form's dump() method now print the name of the form if
present.
