Changes for version 0.63

  • bugfix hanging/infinitely repeating requests when HTTP response headers larger than 512 bytes: increased limit to 4096 bytes (thanks to John Fricker <jfricker@musiciansfriend.com> for patch)
  • added 'get_headers' utility script that reads just the HTTP response headers from a given URL
  • rewrote parse_url() function using strtok() calls; now also supports making http proxy requests (e.g. http://proxy.host:8080/http://destination.host/ ) (proxy support submitted by Matthew H. Gerlach <mgerlach@lightsurf.com>)
  • packaged in include file "hsregex.h" from Apache source distribution for WIN32 systems; still does not build on WIN32 however (spotted by Lee Goddard <Home@LeeGoddard.com>)
