getAllResponseHeaders now returns the headers with CR LF line
endings instead of just LF.

file: URLs now work when they contain %-escapes beyond the
ASCII range.

• send() now sets the Content-Length header for a POST request.
Thanks to Erwan Mas for fixing this.
• send(data) now actually sends the data when the Content-Type
has been set explicitly with an encoding. Thanks to Erwan Mas
for finding this.

• perl 5.8.4 and lower are no longer supported.
• t/http.t is now skipped on Windows, which does not support
open FH, '-|', LIST.
• LWP errors are now also turned into NETWORK_ERRs, just like
infinite redirects.
• Encoding detection now uses HTTP::Message’s content_charset
feature (which correctly detects XML and HTML encoding), and
resorts to BOM-sniffing if the former doesn’t work, instead
of relying solely on the Content-Type header.
• Invalid byte sequences are now turned into single (not multi-
ple) U+FFFD characters during decoding.
• The open method now dies if the name argument contains a
colon. (Before, it would record the name and the send method
would die instead.)
• Names and passwords are now sent in UTF-8 encoding. They used
to be sent in Latin 1, except for those with chars outside
its range, which would cause errors instead.
• The body of a request is now encoded in UTF-8 if it is text,
or in whatever encoding is specified via setRequestHeader.
• Document objects passed to send() are now serialised properly,
instead of simply being converted to strings.
• send now returns nothing, the way it’s supposed to. It used
to return true for successful HTTP status codes.
• onreadystatechange is no longer triggered multiple times by
send() for synchronous requests.
• The abort method now actually aborts when called from a
readystatechange handler.
• The abort method now switches the state to DONE and calls the
readystatechange handlers before aborting if the send method
is active.

Fixed to work with LWP 5.833
0.04 4 October, 2009
Fixed a really nasty bug: Sending any data via the send()
method via HTTP would tickle an incompatibility with LWP/
Protocol/http.pm that would result in an LWP-generated 500
error (Not a SCALAR reference). (We now stringify the content
before passing it to LWP.) Thanks to Steven Nikkel for report-
ing the error.
0.03 30 September, 2009
• Infinite or external redirects are now turned into errors
(NETWORK_ERRs) if async is false. In any case, they now cause
all information pertaining to the response to be discarded.
• getResponseHeader and getAllResponseHeaders now produce the
correct type of error (INVALID_STATE_ERR) when the state is
UNSENT or OPENED.
• As a temporary hack to get someone’s code working, this mod-
ule adds textContent to XML::DOM::Lite::Node, if it does not
already exist.
0.02 15 August, 2009
Fixed to work with WWW::Scripter::Plugin::JavaScript 0.002.
The test script was relying on a bug in that module.
0.01 5 April, 2009
First version. Just a renamed version of the Mech plugin with
a few tweaks.
Revision history for WWW::Mechanize::Plugin::Ajax
0.05 16 October, 2008
Fixed to work with LWP 5.818, which has a heart attack when
an HTTP header’s value is an object that happens indirectly to
reference a code reference.
0.04 15 October, 2008
No new features; simply updated to work with LWP 5.815
0.03 9 September, 2008
• The errors produced when the URL passed to open is from the
wrong site/port/etc. are now DOMException objects.
• The open method now clears the responseText and the
request headers.
• The send method now raises a readystatechange event on send-
ing (without changing the readyState) and for the ‘loading’
state (3).
• The setRequestHeader method now dies when called at a time
other than between open and send.
• setRequestHeader now throws a syntax error when the argu-
ments do not conform to HTTP syntax.
• The send method no longer runs scripts on HTML pages that
it fetches.
• setRequestHeader now ignores certain HTTP headers for the
sake of security and HTTP compliancy.
• The send method now dies when the readyState is not OPENED
or when it is called recursively.
• Assigning null to onreadystatechange no longer causes warn-
ings and errors during event dispatch.
• The argument to the send method is now ignored for GET and
HEAD requests.
0.02 19 August, 2008
• Relative URIs are now supported.
• URIs are now checked to see whether they originate from the
same server (and port and scheme) as the current page.
• Fake cookies (created by setRequestHeader) are no longer
clobbered when there are real cookies.
• The event methods addEventListener, removeEventListener and
dispatchEvent have been added.
• There are now constants for the readyState
(XMLHttpRequest.UNSENT etc.).
• Non-standard HTTP method names are no longer folded to
uppercase.
• The ‘open’ method now dies if the method name is not a
valid HTTP token or if it is CONNECT, TRACE or TRACK
(case-tolerant).
• The fragment part (#...) of a URI is now stripped.
• The ‘open’ method now dies if the URL’s scheme is not
supported.
• Username and password are now gleaned from the URL if pres-
ent and if the corresponding args to open are omitted.
• The username and password info no longer leaks from one
object to the next. (The send method used to set the creden-
tials for all XHR objects that didn’t have any.)
