Latest releases of http_request2

HTTP_Request2 0.5.1

2009-11-21T19:00:24-05:00

HTTP_Request2 0.5.0

* Redirect support added, new configuration parameters 'follow_redirects',
'max_redirects' and 'strict_redirects' available

Digest authentication and redirects when doing POST requests, unfortunately
this requires loading the entire request body into memory.

* Prevent memory leaks due to circular references (request #16646)
* Fixed a misleading error message when timing out due to default_socket_timeout

without trying to convert it to string

HTTP_Request2 0.4.1

* Decoding of gzipped responses failed if mbstring.func_overload was enabled
(bug #16555)

rapidshare.com, added first usage example: file uploading to rapidshare.com

HTTP_Request2 0.4.0

2009-05-03T13:16:21-05:00

* Added 'store_body' config parameter, if set to false it will prevent storing
the response body in Response object (request #15881)
* HTTP_Request2::setHeader() method now works as documented, setHeader('name')
will remove the 'name' header, while setHeader('name', '') will set 'name'
header to empty value (bug #15937)
* Custom 'Host' header will not be overwritten by generated one (bug #16146)
* When trying to reuse the connected socket in Socket adapter, make sure that
it is still connected (bug #16149)

HTTP_Request2 0.3.0

2009-01-28T16:22:26-05:00

API changes:
* Removed HTTP_Request2::getConfigValue() method

Feature additions:
* Added digest authentication (RFC 2617) support to Socket adapter. Thanks
to Tom Snyder (tomsn at inetoffice dot com) who sent me a prototype
implementation for HTTP_Request a couple of years ago.
* Added HTTPS proxy support to Socket adapter, this works through CONNECT
request described in RFC 2817.
* Mock adapter can now throw an Exception instead of returning a response
if Exception object is added via its addResponse() method (request #15629)

Other changes and fixes:
* Support RFC 3986 by not encoding '~' in POST body (request #15368)
* Prevent an error with particular versions of PHP and Curl (bug #15617)
* Regular expressions used in HTTP_Request2 are now class constants
(request #15630)
* Curl adapter now throws an exception in case of malformed (non-HTTP)
response rather than dies with a fatal error (bug #15716)
* Curl handle wasn't closed in Curl adapter in case of error (bug #15721)
* Curl adapter sent an extra 'sentHeaders' event and returned bogus
response status when server returned 100-Continue response (bug #15785)

HTTP_Request2 0.2.0

2009-01-07T14:31:30-05:00

API changes:
* HTTP_Request2::getConfigValue() is deprecated and will be removed in next
release. Use HTTP_Request2::getConfig().
* Changed HTTP_Request2::setConfig() to accept a pair of parameter name and
parameter value in addition to array('parameter name' => 'value')
* Added HTTP_Request2::getConfig() method that can return a single
configuration parameter or the whole configuration array

Other additions and changes:
* Added a debug Observer that can log request progress to a file or an
instance of PEAR::Log (thanks to David Jean Louis, request #15424)
* Added a new 'timeout' parameter that limits total number of seconds
a request can take (see requests #5735 and #8964)
* Added various SSL protocol options: 'ssl_verify_peer', 'ssl_verify_host',
'ssl_cafile', 'ssl_capath', 'ssl_local_cert', 'ssl_passphrase'. Note that
'ssl_verify_host' option behaves differently in Socket and Curl Adapters:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47030

encoding (bug #15305)
