Changelog for HTTP-4000.0.6
Version 4004.0.6: release 2009-04-21; changes from 4004.0.5
* Patch release.
* Network.Browser: use HTTP.HandleStream.sendHTTP_notify, not HTTP.sendHTTP_notify
when issuing requests. The latter runs the risk of undoing request normalization.
* Network.HTTP.Base.normalizeRequest: when normalizing proxy-bound requests,
insert a Host: header if none present. Set it to the destination server authority,
not the proxy.
* Network.Browser: don't fail on seeing invalid cookie values, but report them
as errors and continue.
Version 4004.0.5: release 2009-03-30; changes from 4004.0.4
* Get serious about comments and Haddock documentation.
* Cleaned up normalization of requests, fixing bugs and bringing together
previous disparate attempts at handling this.
* RequestMethod now supports custom verbs; use the (Custom String) constructor
* Beef up Network.HTTP.Base's support for normalizing requests and URIs:
* added splitRequestURI which divides a URI into two; the Authority portion
(as a String) and the input URI sans the authority portion. Useful when
wanting to split up a request's URI into its Host: and abs_path pieces.
* added normalizeRequest :: Bool -> Request ty -> Request ty, which
fixes up a requests URI path and Host: info depending on whether it is
destined for a proxy or not (controlled by the Bool.)
* moved defaultRequest, defaultRequest_, libUA from Network.Browser
to Network.HTTP.Base
* added mkRequest :: RequestMethod -> URI -> Bool -> Request ty
for constructing normalized&sane Request bases on top of which
you can add custom headers, body payload etc.
