Release notes for HTTP-Tiny

0.044     2014-07-16 23:46:09-04:00 America/New_York

    [CHANGED]

    - Providing a custom 'Host' header is now a fatal exception.  Previously, it
      was silently ignored, as the RFC mandates that Host be set from the
      URL, but ignoring it could lead to unexpected, confusing errors.

    - optimized URL splitting

    - Passing 'undef' for any proxy attribute will prevent HTTP::Tiny from
      setting the proxy from the environment.

0.043     2014-02-20 20:40:23-05:00 America/New_York

    [FIXED]

    - Does not send absolute request URI when tunneling SSL via proxy

    - Fixes regression in setting host name to verify SSL

    - Protects tests from https_proxy and all_proxy when doing mock testing

0.042     2014-02-18 11:23:17EST-0500 America/New_York

    [ADDED]

    - If IO::Socket::IP 0.25+ is installed, HTTP::Tiny will use it for
      transparent IPv4 or IPv6 support.

    [no code change, only an amended Changes file]

    [INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES (from 0.039)]

    - The 'proxy' attribute no longer takes precedence over the
      'http_proxy' environment variable.  With the addition of http_proxy
      and https_proxy attributes (and corresponding environment variable
      defaults), the legacy 'proxy' attribute now maps to the
      all_proxy/ALL_PROXY environment variable and only takes effect when
      other proxy attributes are not defined.

    [ADDED (since 0.039)]

    - Added 'keep_alive' attribute for single-server persistent connections
      (Clinton Gormley)

    - Added support for Basic authorization with proxies

    - Added support for https proxies via CONNECT

    [FIXED (since 0.039)]

    - Requests are made with one less write for lower latency (Martin
      Evans)
