  • LWP did not handle URLs like http://www.example.com?foo=bar properly.
  • LWP::RobotUA construct now accept key/value arguments in the same way as
    LWP::UserAgent. Based on patch by Andy Lester andy@petdance.com.
  • LWP::RobotUA did not parse robots.txt files that contained "Disallow:"
    using uncommon letter casing. Patch by Liam Quinn liam@htmlhelp.com.
  • WWW::RobotRules now allow leading space when parsing robots.txt file as
    suggested by Craig Macdonald craig@freeasphost.co.uk. We now also
    allow space before the colon.
  • WWW::RobotRules did not handle User-Agent names that use complex version
    numbers. Patch by Liam Quinn liam@htmlhelp.com.

  • The bundled media.types file now match video/quicktime with the .mov
    extension, as suggested by Michel Koppelaar Michel.Koppelaar@kb.nl.
  • Experimental support for composite messages, currently implemented by the
    HTTP::MessageParts module. Joshua Hoblitt jhoblitt@ifa.hawaii.edu.
  • Fixed libscan in Makefile.PL. Patch by Andy Lester andy@petdance.com.
  • The HTTP::Message constructor now accept a plain array reference as
    its $headers argument.
  • The return value of the HTTP::Message as_string() method now better
    conforms to the HTTP wire layout. No additional "\n" are appended to
    the as_string value for HTTP::Request and HTTP::Response. The
    HTTP::Request as_string now replace missing method or URI with "-"
    instead of "[NO METHOD]" and "[NO URI]". We don't want values with
    spaces in them, because it makes it harder to parse.
