got 16.1.0

on Node.js NPM

This release is the result of a large bug hunt. Many of the fixes make Got match its documented behavior, so you may notice some of them:

• Invalid options now throw: an empty method, a negative or fractional maxRedirects or retry.limit, a prefixUrl with a query string or fragment, and a handlers entry that is not a function.
• A stream with a body, json, or form option now rejects writes, as documented.
• The promise response event now only fires for the final response, not for every retry attempt.
• got.extend({body}) (and json, form) no longer sends the payload with every request of the instance. Payloads are never merged with defaults.
• instance.extend() now inherits the parent's mutableDefaults, like got.extend(instance).
• A HEAD request is no longer changed to GET on a 301, 302, or 303 redirect.
• response.body no longer keeps a leading UTF-8 byte order mark, and JSON with a byte order mark now parses.

• Accept number values in headers 6fffc9e
