    libwww-perl-6 require these to be installed.
  • This release also drops the unmaintained lwp-rget script from the distribution.
  • Perl v5.8.8 or better is now required. For older versions of perl please
    stay with libwww-perl-5.837.
  • For https://... default to verified connections with require
    IO::Socket::SSL and Mozilla::CA modules to be installed. Old behaviour
    can be requested bysetting the PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME environment
    variable to 0. The LWP::UserAgent got new ssl_opts method to control
    this as well.
  • Support internationalized URLs from command line scripts and in the proxy
    environment variables.
  • The lwp-dump script got new --request option.
  • The lwp-request script got new -E option, contributed by Tony Finch.
  • Protocol handlers and callbacks can raise HTTP::Response objects as
    exceptions. This will abort the current request and make LWP return the
    raised response.
