Hi all,

http-access/2.0.8 is out.

'http-access2' gives something like the functionality of libwww-perl
(LWP) in Ruby.

Features;

* methods like GET/HEAD/POST via HTTP/1.1.
* asynchronous HTTP request
* HTTPS(SSL)

* by contrast with net/http in standard distribution;
o Cookies support
o MT-safe
o streaming POST
o DigestAuth
o extensible with filter interface
o you don't have to care HTTP/1.1 persistent connection (http-access2
cares instead of you).

* Not supported now
o Cache
o Rather advanced HTTP/1.1 usage such as Range, deflate, etc.
(of course you can set it in header by yourself)

Hi all,

http-access/2.0.9 is out. It's purely a bugfix version that fixes 1
regression problem about BasicAuth. Sorry for frequent releases.

'http-access2' gives something like the functionality of libwww-perl
(LWP) in Ruby.

Features;

* methods like GET/HEAD/POST via HTTP/1.1.
* asynchronous HTTP request
* HTTPS(SSL)

* by contrast with net/http in standard distribution;
o Cookies support
o MT-safe
o streaming POST
o DigestAuth
o extensible with filter interface
o you don't have to care HTTP/1.1 persistent connection (http-access2
cares instead of you).

* Not supported now
o Cache
o Rather advanced HTTP/1.1 usage such as Range, deflate, etc.
(of course you can set it in header by yourself)

changes:
fix the BasicAuth? regression problem in 2.0.8. A server may return
"BASIC" as an authenticate scheme label instead of "Basic". It must
be treated as a case-insensitive token according to RFC2617 section
1.2. Thanks to mwedeme for contributing the patch.

Hi all,

httpclient/2.1.0 is out. The program/project renamed from
'http-access2' to 'httpclient'. Now program name, gem name, and module
namespace are the same: 'httpclient'.

'httpclient' gives something like the functionality of libwww-perl (LWP)
in Ruby. 'httpclient' formerly known as 'http-access2'.

Features;

* methods like GET/HEAD/POST/* via HTTP/1.1.
* HTTPS(SSL), Cookies, proxy, authentication, etc.
* asynchronous HTTP request

* by contrast with net/http in standard distribution;
o Cookies support
o MT-safe
o streaming POST
o DigestAuth?
o extensible with filter interface
o you don't have to care HTTP/1.1 persistent connection (httpclient
cares instead of you).

* Not supported now
o Cache
o Rather advanced HTTP/1.1 usage such as Range, deflate, etc.
(of course you can set it in header by yourself)

changes:
* There's compatibility layer included so existing programs for
http-access2 which uses HTTPAccess2::Client should work with
httpclient/2.1.0 correctly.

* install.rb did not install cacerts.p7s. Thanks to knu.

* now HTTPClient loads http_proxy/HTTP_PROXY and no_proxy/NO_PROXY
environment variable at initialization time. bear in mind that it
doesn't load http_proxy/HTTP_PROXY when a library is considered to be
running under CGI environment (checked by ENVREQUEST_METHOD
existence). cgi_http_proxy/CGI_HTTP_PROXY is loaded instead.

Hi all,

httpclient/2.1.2 is out. The release for negotiate auth support + a
workaround for Ubuntu + SonicWALL timeout problem.

'httpclient' gives something like the functionality of libwww-perl (LWP)
in Ruby. 'httpclient' formerly known as 'http-access2'.

Features:
* methods like GET/HEAD/POST/* via HTTP/1.1.
* HTTPS(SSL), Cookies, proxy, authentication(Digest, NTLM, Basic), etc.
* asynchronous HTTP request

* by contrast with net/http in standard distribution;
o Cookies support
o MT-safe
o streaming POST
o Digest auth
o NTLM auth for WWW-Authenticate
o extensible with filter interface
o you don't have to care HTTP/1.1 persistent connection
(httpclient cares instead of you)

* Not supported now
o Cache
o Rather advanced HTTP/1.1 usage such as Range, deflate, etc.
(of course you can set it in header by yourself

Changes in 2.1.1 and 2.1.2:
* implemented Negotiate authentication with a support from exterior
modules. 'rubyntlm' module is required for Negotiate auth with IIS.
'win32/sspi' module is required for Negotiate auth with ISA. (#23)
* a workaround for Ubuntu + SonicWALL timeout problem. try to send HTTP
request in one chunk. (#171)
* create new self-signing dist-cert which has serial number 0x01 and
embed it in httpclient.rb. (#169)
* update cacert.p7s. certificates are imported from cacerts in JRE 6
Update 2. 1 expired CA certificate
'C=US, O=GTE Corporation, CN=GTE CyberTrust Root' is removed.
* [BUG] Reason-Phrase of HTTP response status line can be empty
according to RFC2616. (#170)
* [BUG] domain string match for cookies should be case insensitive.
thanks to Brian for the patch. (#163)
* [BUG] before calling SSLSocket#post_connection_check, check if
RUBY_VERSION > "1.8.4" for CN based wildcard certificate. when
RUBY_VERSION <= "1.8.4", it fallbacks to the post_connection_check
method in HTTPClient so httpclient should run on 1.8.4 fine as
before. (#164)
* added HTTPClient#test_loopback_http_response which accepts test
loopback response which contains HTTP header. (#165)
