[FIXES]
- HTTP::Proxy::(Body|Header)Filter::simple now provide a default
filter() that does nothing if their constructor is not given one
(thanks to Merijn Brand)
- close RT ticket #14548 by correcting the 'filename' check
in HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::save (Max Maischein)
- ERROR messages are always logged (Mark Tilford)
[TESTS]
- more tests for log() and logmask() in t/11log.t
0.18 Sun Mar 19 23:49:38 CET 2006
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- the new known_methods() method can return all method
names know to HTTP::Proxy (can be helpful with the
method parameter of push_filter())
[FIXES]
- close RT ticket #14898 by using a per-parent lockfile for
HTTP::Proxy::Engine::ScoreBoard (Chris Dolan)
- close RT ticket #18243 by adding missing DeltaV methods
(Stephen Steneker)
[EXAMPLES]
- eg/fudd.pl - make the web tawk wike Ewmer J. Fudd
- eg/switch.pl - switch proxies as you browse
- Changed all the examples so that they can take HTTP::Proxy::new()
parameters on the command-line (so, call them with logmask 3,
for example)
[DOCUMENTATION]
- documentation for the filter initialisation methods
- removed all references to the so-called "store-and-forward"
mechanism (see HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::complete)
0.13 Wed Mar 3 17:36:31 CET 2004
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- CONNECT support (but only transparently...)
- the client_headers() method (similar to hop_headers()) give
the filters access to the proxy's LWP::UA Client-* headers
- filters are applied on all supported methods by default
[FIXES]
- removed everything regarding control() and control_regex(),
which were not used and confusing
[TESTS]
- tests for CONNECT support
- tests for SSL support (not working yet)
[EXAMPLES]
- eg/adblock.pl - a very simple adblocker
- eg/trim.pl - trims whitespace from HTML pages
- eg/javascript.pl - add any text right after <body>
[DOCUMENTATION]
- separate COPYRIGHT and LICENSE sections in all man pages
0.12 Thu Jan 22 23:54:03 CET 2004
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- send the error message to the client when the Proxy agent dies
(usually because of a filter error)
- the proxy now sends a X-Forwarded-For header by default
(and the proxy method x_forwarded_for can toggle this)
- the proxy method client_socket() gives access to the socket
connected to the current client (the example in Changes for 0.10
was wrong: one can get the IP address of the connected agent from
inside a filter with $self->proxy->client_socket->peerhost)
[FIXES]
- do not block simultaneous connections when not forking
- clean up the filter chain after the body-request filters
- ensure the filter stack is reinitialised between requests
[TESTS]
- tests for X-Forwarded-For
- test the proxy against http://diveintomark.org/tests/client/http/
[EXAMPLES]
- eg/post.pl - outputs the URI and parameters of all POST requests
- eg/logger.pl - outputs details of GET and POST requests
0.11 Fri Jan 2 17:02:08 CET 2004
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- setting maxchild to 0 prevents forking (Jim Cromie)
- filters can now match on the query string
- hop-by-hop headers and Max-Forwards headers are correctly supported
- new mutators added to HTTP::Proxy: via, hop_headers, request,
response
- filters can now answer in place of the server, which allows
for authorisation filters, cache (?) filters, etc.
- new examples scripts: proxy-auth.pl
[FIXES]
- push_filter() now correctly supports several match criteria
[TESTS]
- all the Via: header tests are now in t/50via.t
- t/50standard.t now checks headers for several request types
- new tests:
+ t/51simple2.t - check response header filters with an actual proxy
+ t/61simple2.t - check response body filters with an actual proxy
[INTERNALS]
- new method _send_response_headers
0.10 Wed Nov 19 01:36:59 CET 2003
*** MAJOR INTERFACE CHANGES ***
- new base classes HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter and
HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter
- some useful built-in filter classes:
HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::htmlparser
HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::htmltext
HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::lines
HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::simple
This version is NOT compatible with the previous ones
regarding the way filters work.
*** MAJOR INTERFACE CHANGES ***
0.09 Fri Aug 15 21:12:17 CEST 2003
- maxserve is now correctly handled
- corrected a bug in the t/20keepalive.t test file that
made the tests fail on some machines
0.08 Thu Mar 13 01:41:42 CET 2003
- cleaned up support for filters
- added support for "buffering" filters
and a new HTTP::Proxy::FilterStack class
- added an anonymiser script (eg/anonymiser.pl)

- the interfaces are very likely to change soon
0.07 Tue Feb 18 22:30:43 CET 2003

- and tests to check for it
- and a new timeout accessor
0.06 Mon Feb 17 00:21:37 CET 2003
- better forking system and better reaping of zombies
(thanks to David Landgren and Stéphane Payrard)
Still won't work under Windows, though :-(
- replaced verbose() by logmask(), so as to fine-tune
the logging system
- put some of the test functions in a test module (t::Utils)
0.05 Tue Feb 4 00:47:23 CET 2003
- explicitly refuse CONNECT
- better support for TRACE method
- support the Via: Header (a MUST in RFC 2616)
- filters, but this needs more work

- accept connection from other hosts
- better ftp support (no test yet)

(thanks to Eric Cholet)
- a children handles only one request at a time, for better

0.02 Thu Oct 24 23:45:08 CEST 2002
- the system now forks to handle several connections
( run in 0.887 second using v1.01-cache-2.11-cpan-49f99fa48dc )
