  • This is the release where I played around with Devel::NYTProf to figure
    where time was actually spent during the processing of requests with
    LWP. The methods that manipulated header objects stood out, so this
    release contains a few tweaks to make those parts faster.
  • I also figured a few convenience methods to encode and decode the content
    of request/response objects would be in order.
  • Should store "wire" headers field names with _ without translation.
  • Test HTTP::Request->parse().
  • Restore pre-5.815 behaviour of returning "400 Bad Request" [RT#39694]
  • Rename the HTTP::Status constants to have HTTP_ prefix
  • Detection of unsupported schemes was broken [RT#37637]
  • Allow tainted methods to be forwarded to HTTP::Headers [RT#38736]
  • Add strict mode to HTML::Form
  • Fix test now that less warnings are generated.
  • Add content_is_xml method
  • Make split_header_words() lower case returned tokens/keys
  • Avoid invoking AUTOLOAD on object destruction [RT#39852]
  • Add decode() method to HTTP::Message
  • Add encode() method to HTTP::Message
  • Allow multiple fields to be set with push_header().
  • Make content_type and content_is_xhtml methods faster
  • Faster push_header()
