Latest releases of http_request

HTTP_Request 1.4.4

2008-11-17T08:54:31-05:00

Development of HTTP_Request package is halted, only bug fixing will be done.
Please submit feature requests for HTTP_Request2 package.

Fixes:
* Improved memory usage of _buildRequest() method (bug #14574)
* Clarified documentation for addFile() method to mention that it is useful
only for POST method file uploads (bug #14635)
* Do not send "Content-Length: 0" header for methods other than
POST and PUT, as some servers may return error 400 (bug #14740)

HTTP_Request 1.4.3

2008-07-21T13:56:14-05:00

* Added possibility to get reason phrase from HTTP response (request #12352)
* PHP 4.2.0 should be the minimal PHP version (bug #12354), also updated other
dependencies' versions to saner values
* Send a Content-Length header in request even if body is empty (request #12900)
* Do not pass length parameter to gzinflate(), it could cause problems in some
corner cases (bugs #13135, #14370)
* Return an error if trying to do a HTTPS request without OpenSSL support
(bug #14127)
* Do not stop reading chunked response body prematurely (bug #14200)

HTTP_Request 1.4.2

2007-10-26T09:48:41-05:00

* The final CRLF was not properly added to request headers on POST request
with no post data (Thanks to Brock Weaver)
* Added error codes (request #12335, thanks to Joe Stump for the patch)
* HTTP_Request sent broken requests on redirects with no trailing slash
(bug #12308, thanks to Joe Stump for the patch)
* Requests with a body consisting of only a symbol '0' were sent without body
(reported privately by Sam Ghods)
* download-progress.php example was broken since 1.4.0 due to addition of
'connect' and 'disconnect' events. Now works again.

HTTP_Request 1.4.1

2007-05-18T15:24:58-05:00

* Removed bogus parameter for getURL() (Bug #9586, thanks to Martin Jansen)
* Improved API documentation (Bug #9984, thanks to Martin Jansen)
* Fixed wrong Content-Length if using mbstring function overloading (bug #10605)
* Fixed bogus "data CRC check failed" error on 64-bit systems (bug #10790,
thanks to Bill Moran)
* Redone the way package handles mbstring function overloading, this will allow
using gzip Content-Encoding when said overloading is switched on
* Added proper header comment blocks, improved phpdoc comments

HTTP_Request 1.4.0

2006-10-25T12:28:00-05:00

* Added Keep-Alive support (request #4806), thanks to Justin Patrin for the
initial patch. Please note that "Connection: close" header is still added
by default, you need to explicitly add "Connection: Keep-Alive" header or
remove "Connection" header if using HTTP 1.1
* A new disconnect() method was added which forces disconnection from the
server if Keep-Alive is used. Also two new events are sent to the Listeners:
"connect" and "disconnect"
* Added getUrl() method (request #6589)
* Added method to properly parse header of gzip-encoded data (see RFC 1952).
This takes care of situations when the server adds some additional data
to the header (bug #8245) or sends data that is not gzip-encoded when
"Content-Encoding: gzip" header is present (bug #8213)
* "Proxy-Authorization" header is now properly set by constructor
(bug #5913)
* Fixed doc comments mentioning addBody() method instead of proper setBody()
(bug #5969)
* Fixed erroneous removal of "Content-Type" header from request
(bug #7922)
* Bogus HTTP headers are now ignored (bug #8214)
* Path is set to "/" if an URL without path (http://www.example.com)
is given (bug #8662)
* Moved to package.xml version 2.0

HTTP_Request 1.3.0

2005-11-06T14:03:45-05:00

* All request and response headers are now treated case-insensitively,
per RFC 2616 (bug #1045, bug #4367).
* Values of multiple response headers with the same name are combined
into a comma-separated string per RFC 2616 (bug #1045)
* Generate proper closing boundary for multipart/form-data requests,
per RFC 1521 (bug #4397)
* magic_quotes_runtime directive is switched off when performing the
request since it may break file uploads and chunked responses (bug #4543)
* Response::_readChunked() will finish on zero-length chunk rather than
socket eof (patch from bug #3037)
* Added HTTP_Request::setBody() method, deprecated addRawPostData() due to
misleading name. The request body will be sent with all request methods
except those that explicitly forbid this (e.g. TRACE). Data set via
addPostData() / addFile() will only be sent with POST (see request #4716)

HTTP_Request 1.2.4

2004-12-30T11:19:16-05:00

* Notice was raised when processing a response containing secure
cookies (bug #2741)
* Warning was raised when processing a response with empty body and
chunked Transfer-encoding (bug #2792)
* Improved inline documentation on constructor parameters (bug #2751)

HTTP_Request 1.2.3

2004-10-01T11:52:02-05:00

* Auth information is properly extracted from URLs of the form http://user:pass@host/
(bug #1507)
* Connection to server is closed after performing request (bug #1692)
* Use correct argument separator for generated query stings (bug #1857, see
also bug #704 for Net_URL)
* Do not use gzip encoding if certain string functions are overloaded by
mbstring extension (bug #1781)
* addPostData() now properly handles multidimensional arrays (bug #2233)

HTTP_Request 1.2.2

2004-05-19T06:56:08-05:00

Bug fixes:
* Fixed #1037 (unable to connect to port 80 through HTTPS). This relies
on fix for Net_URL bug #1036, thus Net_URL 1.0.12 is now required.
* Fixed #1333 (sending POST data on non-POST requests).
* Fixed #1433 (overwriting the variable name when adding multiple files
for upload).

HTTP_Request 1.2.1

2004-04-29T09:11:04-05:00

Additions and changes:
* Applied patch from #851 (First parameter of constructor is now optional)
* Implemented #526 (It is now possible to set timeout on socket, via
parameter readTimeout)
* Implemented #1141 (It is now possible to pass options to socket via
parameter socketOptions, Net_Socket 1.0.2 is needed for this functionality)

Fixes:
* Fixed #842 (Doc comments incorrectly described the possible return values)
* Fixed #1152 (Incorrect handling of cookies with '=' in value)
* Fixed #1158 (Cookie parameters are not necessarily lowercase)
* Fixed #1080 (Cookies should not be urlencoded/urldecoded)
