o Release 5b6
o Installation should work better for those that still runs
perl4 as 'perl'. The mirror script is not installed by
default.
o LWP::Socket::_getaddress() Numerical IP adresses did not work.
o LWP::Socket::pushback() did not work. This also avoids the bad
pp_select() core dump from perl.
o LWP::IO now also selects on socket exceptions.
o HTML::Parse: Ignore <!DOCTYPE ...> regardless for case. Some
bad insertElement() calls made infinite loops.
o The uri.t test works better for places where /tmp is a sym-link.
Sat Sep 16 1995 Gisle Aas <aas@oslonett.no>
o Release 5b5
o newlocal URI::URL does not put "//localhost" into the URLs any
longer.
o The request program: New -o option to reformat the HTML code
New -C option to provide credentials on the command line.
The -b option never worked.
o LWP::Protocol::file now returns redirect for access to directories
where the trailing slash is missing.
Thu Sep 14 1995 Gisle Aas <aas@oslonett.no>
o Speedups and bug fixes in the HTML parser. The parser now
understands some more depreciated tags (like <xmp> and <listing>).
o HTML::Elements are now stingified using perl overloading.
The interface to the traverse() callback has changed.
o Implemented HTML formatters for plain text and Postscript.
o Added lib/Font stuff to support the Postscript formatter.
o Inspired by Tim Bunce, I implemented the HTML::AsSubs module.
Don't know if it is really useful.
o The local/get test does not use /etc/passwd any more.
Thu Sep 7 1995 Gisle Aas <aas@oslonett.no>
o Changed package name to libwww-perl-5xx
o Made LWP::Protocol::ftp actually transfer data
o Implemented methods for LWP::Socket to act as a server:
bind(), listen(), accept(), getsockname(), host(), port()
Wed Sep 6 1995 Gisle Aas <aas@oslonett.no>
o Release 0.04
o Implemented modules to parse HTML.
Mon Sep 4 1995 Gisle Aas <aas@oslonett.no>
o Implemented Mail::Cap which will become part of the MailTools
package.
o Moved Base64 to MIME::Base64. Reimplemented MIME::Base64 by using
[un]pack("u",...) Implemented LWP::MIME::QuotedPrint for
completness sake. Routine names has changed as suggested by Tim
Bunce.
o LWP::MediaType reads default types from media.types file.
guessMediaType() now also returns encodings. New function mediaSuffix()
o Pass $url to $ua->getBasicCredentials(). This also fixes security
hole with the old implementation of getBasicCredentials().
o LWP::Protocol::file now sets Content-Encoding headers
o Allow request content to be provided by a callback routine.
o Fix bug that prevented response callback to work. The first parameter
(data) is no longer a reference, because $_[0] is already a reference.
Don't callback unless successful response. Callbacks during redirects
was confusing.
o URI::URL. Remove port from netloc if it is the default port.
Don't use anything, just require.
o HTTP::Message->addContent() does not need a reference parameter.
o LWP::Socket->open() has been renamed top LWP::Socket->connect()
LWP::Socket->close has gone. Implemented new method LWP::Socket->read()
that returns as fast as it has some data to offer. Implemented
LWP::Socket->pushback().
o Does not die in LWP::UserAgent->request()
o LWP::Socket now use LWP::IO for low level IO
o Implemented LWP::TkIO as a replacement module for LWP::IO when using Tk.
Thu Aug 17 1995 Gisle Aas <aas@oslonett.no>
o $ua->redirectOK() for checking redirects
o reorganized tests in the "t" directory.

o Release 0.03
o Included RobotRules.pm from Martijn Koster
Thu Aug 10 1995 Gisle Aas <aas@oslonett.no>
o New module URI::Escape (URI::URL use this module for default
escaping) that provide the uri_escape() and uri_unescape()
functions.
o Setting $url->scheme now changes the class of the object.
o Made $httpurl->user() and $httpurl->password() illegal.
Likewise for other URL schemes.
Wed Aug 9 1995 Gisle Aas <aas@oslonett.no>
o Reorganisation as discussed on <libwww-perl@ics.uci.edu>
LWP::Date --> HTTP::Date
LWP::MIMEheader --> HTTP::Headers
LWP::StatusCode --> HTTP::Status
LWP::Message --> HTTP::Message
LWP::Request --> HTTP::Request
LWP::Response --> HTTP::Response
LWP::MIMEtypes --> LWP::MediaTypes
o HTTP::Date parses ctime format with missing timezone as suggested
by Roy Fielding <fielding@beach.w3.org>
o HTTP::Status and LWP::MediaTypes exports their functions by default.
o Splitted up the URI::URL module. Schemes are implemented by separate
files that are autoloaded when used. Self test moved to "t/uri.t".
Mon Aug 7 1995 Gisle Aas <aas@oslonett.no>
o Applied patch from Marc Hedlund <hedlund@best.com>
- Update the @header_order according to the August 3rd draft.
- Added Response Header fields: 'Location', 'Public', 'Retry-After',
'Server', and 'WWW-Authenticate'.
- Moved 'unknown header' handling from &scan to &header. The old
implementation was forcing all unknown header-words to begin with
an uppercase (as it should be), but disallowed other uppercase
letters.
- updates the status code messages under the August
3rd HTTP/1.0 draft. '203' became 'Non-Authoritative Information',
'303' became 'See Other', and a new code,
'411 Authorization Refused', was added.
o Can remove multiple headers with single removeHeader() call in MIMEheader.
o Can assign multiple field/value pairs in header() method of MIMEheader.
o A field with multiple values is printed as separate values in
MIMEheader::as_string().
o LWP::Response contain new attributes: previous() and request(). These
attributes are updated by the UserAgent.
o Appended \n to some die statements in Socket so that line numbers are
suppressed in error messages.
o Made UserAgent::clone work for reference members
o Check for redirect loops and multiple authorization failures by
examination of the response chain.
o Use "\015\012" instead of "\r\n" in protocol modules. Some systems
define \r and \n differently.
o request program can now handle documents that needs autorization by
prompting the user for username/password. Added new -S option to print
request/response chain.

o In LWP::MIMEheader: Implemented clone(), removeHeader() and scan()
methods. Reimplemented asString. Removed asMIME(). Moved "Good
Practice" into this file, and reimplemented it.

LWP::Request and LWP::Response much simpler. Made clone() method
actually work.

(as opposed to foo_bar stype) everywhere. This means that as_string()
now is called asString().
