Yet another snapshot. libwww-perl-5.72 have the following changes:
Requests for some non-HTTP URLs would fail if the cookie_jar
was enabled. The HTTP::Cookies::add_cookie_header now ignored
not-HTTP requests.
The new local/http test failed on Windows because of a missing
binmode().
Suppress Client-SSL-Warning warning header when Crypt::SSLeay
is able to verify the peer certificate. Patch contributed by
Joshua Chamas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
HTTP::Request::Common::POST did not add a 'Content-Length' header
when the content ended up empty. Fixed by a patch contributed
by Brian J. Murrell.
Internally generated responses now contain a text/plain part
that repeats the status line. They also have a "Client-Warning"
header that can be used to differentiate these responses from
real server responses.
LWP::UserAgent now deals with 303 and 307 redirects. The behaviour
of 302 redirects has also changed to be like 303; i.e. change the
method to be "GET". This is what most browsers do. Based on
a patch contributed by Tom Hughes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
LWP::UserAgent now implements a 'max_redirect' attribute with a
default value of 7. This should also fix the problem where
redirects to the same URL to get a cookie set did not work.
Based on a patch by Sean M. Burke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
NTML authentication should continue to fail if the Authen::NTLM
module can't be loaded. LWP used to think the scheme was
available as soon as the module stash showed up. Not it looks
for the authenticate method to be defined. Patch by Jan Dubois.
lwp-download will not try to rename *.tbz and *.tar.bz2 to
match the reported content type. Patch contributed by
Robin Barker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
HTTP::Cookies::Netscape documentation fix by Sean M. Burke.
HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft documentation fix by Johnny Lee.
The code that tries to avoid installing 'HEAD' on top of
'head' on systems like Mac OS was further improved to look
in $Config{installscript} instead of $Config{sitebin}.
Patch provided by Ken Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
