  102. http://github.com/cmullaparthi/ibrowse/issues/issue/13
  103. * Automatically do Chunked-Transfer encoding of request body
  104. when the body is generated by a fun. Patch provided by
  105. Filipe David Manana.
  106. http://github.com/cmullaparthi/ibrowse/issues/issue/14
  107. * Depending on input options, ibrowse sometimes included multiple
  108. Content-Length headers. Bug reported by Paul J. Davis
  109. http://github.com/cmullaparthi/ibrowse/issues/issue/15
  110. * Deal with webservers which do not provide a Reason-Phrase on the
  111. response Status-Line. Patch provided by Jeroen Koops.
  112. http://github.com/cmullaparthi/ibrowse/issues/issue/16
  113. * Fixed http://github.com/cmullaparthi/ibrowse/issues/issue/17
  114. This was reported by Filipe David Manana.
  115. * Fixed http://github.com/cmullaparthi/ibrowse/issues/issue/19
  116. This was reported by Dan Kelley and Filipe David Manana.
  117. * Added ibrowse:stream_close/1 to close the connection
  118. associated with a certain response stream. Patch provided by
  119. Jo?o Lopes.
  120. * Prevent port number being included in the Host header when port
  121. 443 is intended. Bug reported by Andrew Tunnell-Jones
  122. 24-09-2010 - v2.0.1
  123. * Removed a spurious io:format statement
  124. 22-09-2010 - v2.0.0.
  125. * Added option preserve_chunked_encoding. This allows the
  126. caller to get the raw HTTP response when the
  127. Transfer-Encoding is Chunked. This feature was requested
  128. by Benoit Chesneau who wanted to write a HTTP proxy using
  129. ibrowse.
  130. * Fixed bug with the {stream_to, {Pid, once}} option. Bug
  131. report and lot of help from Filipe David Manana. Thank
  132. you Filipe.
  133. * The {error, conn_failed} and {error, send_failed} return
  134. values are now of the form {error, {conn_failed, Err}}
  135. and {error, {send_failed, Err}}. This is so that the
  136. specific socket error can be returned to the caller. I
  137. think it looks a bit ugly, but that is the best
  138. compromise I could come up with.
  139. * Added application configuration parameters
  140. default_max_sessions and default_max_pipeline_size. These
  141. were previously hard coded to 10.
  142. * Versioning of ibrowse now follows the Semantic Versioning
  143. principles. See http://semver.org. Thanks to Anthony
  144. Molinaro for nudging me in this direction.
  145. * The connect_timeout option now only applies to the
  146. connection setup phase. In previous versions, the time
  147. taken to setup the connection was deducted from the
  148. specified timeout value for the request.
  149. 17-07-2010 - * Merged change made by Filipe David Manana to use the base64
  150. module for encoding/decoding.
  151. 11-06-2010 - * Removed use of deprecated concat_binary. Patch supplied by
  152. Steve Vinoski
  153. 10-06-2010 - * Fixed bug in https requests not going via the proxy
  154. 12-05-2010 - * Added support for the CONNECT method to tunnel HTTPS through
  155. a proxy. When a https URL is requested through a proxy,
  156. ibrowse will automatically use the CONNECT method to first
  157. setup a tunnel through the proxy. Once this succeeds, the
  158. actual request is dispatched. Successfully tested with the
  159. new SSL implementation in R13B-03
  160. * Added SSL support for direct connections.
  161. See ibrowse:spawn_worker_process/1 and
  162. ibrowse:spawn_link_worker_process/1
  163. * Added option to return raw status line and raw unparsed headers
  164. 23-04-2010 - * Fixes to URL parsing by Karol Skocik
  165. 08-11-2009 - * Added option headers_as_is
  166. 04-10-2009 - * Patch from Kostis Sagonas to cleanup some code and suppress
  167. dialyzer warnings
  168. 24-09-2009 - * When a filename was supplied with the 'save_response_to_file'
  169. option, the option was being ignored. Bug report from
  170. Adam Kocoloski
  171. 05-09-2009 - * Introduced option to allow caller to set socket options.
  172. 29-07-2009 - * The ETS table created for load balancing of requests was not
  173. being deleted which led to the node not being able to create
  174. any more ETS tables if queries were made to many number of
  175. webservers. ibrowse now deletes the ETS table it creates once the
  176. last connection to a webserver is dropped.
  177. Reported by Seth Falcon.
  178. * Spurious data being returned at end of body in certain cases of
  179. chunked encoded responses from the server.
  180. Reported by Chris Newcombe.
  181. 03-07-2009 - Added option {stream_to, {Pid, once}} which allows the caller
  182. to control when it wants to receive more data. If this option
  183. is used, the call ibrowse:stream_next(Req_id) should be used
  184. to get more data.
  185. * Patch submitted by Steve Vinoski to remove compiler warnings
  186. about the use of obsolete guards
  187. 29-06-2009 - * Fixed following issues reported by Oscar Hellstr?m
  188. * Use {active, once} instead of {active, true}
  189. * Fix 'dodgy' timeout handling
  190. * Use binaries internally instead of lists to reduce memory
  191. consumption on 64 bit platforms. The default response format
  192. is still 'list' to maintain backwards compatibility. Use the
  193. option {response_format, binary} to get responses as binaries.
  194. * Fixed chunking bug (reported by Adam Kocoloski)
  195. * Added new option {inactivity_timeout, Milliseconds} to timeout
  196. requests if no data is received on the link for the specified
  197. interval. Useful when responses are large and links are flaky.
  198. * Added ibrowse:all_trace_off/0 to turn off all tracing
  199. * Change to the way responses to asynchronous requests are
  200. returned. The following messages have been removed.
  201. * {ibrowse_async_response, Req_id, {chunk_start, Chunk_size}}
  202. * {ibrowse_async_response, Req_id, chunk_end}
  203. * Fixed Makefiles as part of Debian packaging
  204. (thanks to Thomas Lindgren)
  205. * Moved repository from Sourceforge to Github
  206. 11-06-2009 - * Added option to control size of streamed chunks. Also added
  207. option for the client to receive responses in binary format.
  208. 21-05-2008 - * Fixed bug in reading some options from the ibrowse.conf file.
  209. Reported by Erik Reitsma on the erlyaws mailing list
  210. * Fixed bug when cleaning up closing connections
  211. 27-03-2008 - * Major rewrite of the load balancing feature. Additional module,
  212. ibrowse_lb.erl, introduced to achieve this.
  213. * Can now get a handle to a connection process which is not part of
  214. the load balancing pool. Useful when an application is making
  215. requests to a webserver which are time consuming (such as
  216. uploading a large file). Such requests can be put on a separate
  217. connection, and all other smaller/quicker requests can use the
  218. load balancing pool. See ibrowse:spawn_worker_process/2 and
  219. ibrowse:spawn_link_worker_process/2
  220. * Ram Krishnan sent a patch to enable a client to send a lot of
  221. data in a request by providing a fun which is invoked by the
  222. connection handling process. This fun can fetch the data from
  223. any where. This is useful when trying to upload a large file
  224. to a webserver.
  225. * Use the TCP_NODELAY option on every socket by default
  226. * Rudimentary support for load testing of ibrowse. Undocumented,
  227. but see ibrowse_test:load_test/3. Use the source, Luke!
  228. * New function ibrowse:show_dest_status/2 to view state of
  229. connections/pipelines to a web server
  230. 20-02-2008 - Ram Krishnan sent another patch for another hidden bug in the
  231. save_response_to_file feature.
  232. 07-02-2008 - Ram Krishnan (kriyative _at_ gmail dot com) sent a simple patch to
  233. enable specifying the filename in the save_response_to_file option.
  234. When testing the patch, I realised that my original implementation
  235. of this feature was quite flaky and a lot of corner cases were
  236. not covered. Fixed all of them. Thanks Ram!
  237. 17-10-2007 - Matthew Reilly (matthew dot reilly _at_ sipphone dot com)
  238. sent a bug report and a fix. If the chunk trailer spans two TCP
  239. packets, then ibrowse fails to recognise that the chunked transfer
  240. has ended.
  241. 29-08-2007 - Bug report by Peter Kristensen(ptx _at_ daimi dot au dot dk).
  242. ibrowse crashes when the webserver returns just the Status line
  243. and nothing else.
  244. 28-06-2007 - Added host_header option to enable connection to secure sites
  245. via stunnel
  246. 20-04-2007 - Geoff Cant sent a patch to remove URL encoding for digits in
  247. ibrowse_lib:url_encode/1.
  248. ibrowse had a dependency on the inets application because the
  249. ibrowse_http_client.erl invoked httpd_util:encode_base64/1. This
  250. dependency is now removed and the encode_base64/1 has been
  251. implemented in ibrowse_lib.erl
  252. 06-03-2007 - Eric Merritt sent a patch to support WebDAV requests.
  253. 12-01-2007 - Derek Upham sent in a bug fix. The reset_state function was not
  254. behaving correctly when the transfer encoding was not chunked.
  255. 13-11-2006 - Youn?s Hafri reported a bug where ibrowse was not returning the
  256. temporary filename when the server was closing the connection
  257. after sending the data (as in HTTP/1.0).
  258. Released ibrowse under the BSD license
  259. 12-10-2006 - Chris Newcombe reported bug in dealing with requests where no
  260. body is expected in the response. The first request would succeed
  261. and the next request would hang.
  262. 24-May-2006 - Sean Hinde reported a bug. Async responses with pipelining was
  263. returning the wrong result.
  264. 08-Dec-2005 - Richard Cameron (camster@citeulike.org). Patch to ibrowse to
  265. prevent port number being included in the Host header when port
  266. 80 is intended.
  267. 22-Nov-2005 - Added ability to generate requests using the Chunked
  268. Transfer-Encoding.
  269. 08-May-2005 - Youn?s Hafri made a CRUX LINUX port of ibrowse.
  270. http://yhafri.club.fr/crux/index.html
