  • HTML::Form will allow individual menu entries to be disabled. This was
    needed to support and
    foo.
  • HTML::Form now avoids name clashes between the and
    attributes.
  • HTML::Form now implicitly close elements when it sees another
    input or . This is closer to the MSIE behaviour.
  • HTML::Form will now "support" keygen-inputs. It will not calculate a key
    by itself. The user will have to set its value for it to be returned by
    the form.
  • HTTP::Headers now special case field names that start with a ':'. This is
    used as an escape mechanism when you need the header names to not go
    through canonicalization. It means that you can force LWP to use a
    specific casing and even underscores in header names. The ugly
    $TRANSLATE_UNDERSCORE global has been undocumented as a result of this.
  • HTTP::Message will now allow an external 'content_ref' to be set. This
    can for instance be used to let HTTP::Request objects pick up content
    data from some scalar variable without having to copy it.
  • HTTP::Request::Common. The individual parts will no longer have a
    Content-Length header for file uploads. This improves compatibility
    with "normal" browsers.
  • LWP::Simple doc patch for getprint. Yitzchak
    Scott-Thoennes sthoenna@efn.org.
  • LWP::UserAgent: New methods default_header() and default_headers(). These
    can be used to set up headers that are automatically added to requests
    as they are sent. This can for instance be used to initialize various
    Accept headers.
  • Various typo fixes by Ville Skyttä ville.skytta@iki.fi.
  • Fixed test failure under perl-5.005.
  • LWP::Protocol::loopback: This is a new protocol handler that works like
    the HTTP TRACE method, it will return the request provided to it. This
    is sometimes useful for testing. It can for instance be invoked by
    setting the 'http_proxy' environment variable to 'loopback:'.
