Local Packages

  • Updated perl-HTTP-Tiny to 0.058:

  • Added
    • Added support for the SSL_CERT_FILE environment variable

    • Added 'peer' attribute to force a connection to a particular server

    • Added 'connected' method to allow introspection of persistent connections

    • An array reference of redirection result hash references is included in the final response hash reference (but only if redirects occur)
  • Changed
    • Because folded headers are obsoleted in the revised RFCs, if CRLF is found in header values followed by one or more spaces, they are all replaced by a single space
  • Fixed
    • Per the RFC, control headers are now sent first before other headers (which are sent in arbitrary order)
    • Only well-known headers have their case canonicalized; all other headers are sent in the case provided by the user
    • The 'keep_alive' option now also sets the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the underlying socket to help with long-lived, idle connections

    • Request header field values are now validated against the RFC rules (i.e. empty or else space-or-tab separated tokens of printable characters)
