- original version; created by h2xs 1.18
0.2 Wed Jul 15 10:46:00 1998
- line-endings were in DOS-format. That's the result if you think
"oh, just hack this up on the dos prompt". Dang. Sorry.
- corrected and tested the installation
- streamlined the documentation
0.3 Mon Aug 31 09:51:00 1998
- methods can be uppercase or lowercase (this was a problem with the
new LWP)
- archivename now in standard format
0.4 Mon Sep 28 11:10:44 CEST 1998
- better example in the Synopsis (this one actually works!)
- bugfixes in the handling of GET (this didn't work before)
0.5 Thu Aug 19 14:02:13 MET DST 1999
Several user-reported bug-fixes and some extensions:
- fixed synopsis (missing ";")
- handle reset buttons identically to submit buttons
- debug now shows the expanded URL and not the given link
- support for textarea fields
- special support for radio buttons (they are now handled in the
same way as selections and only one value is submitted to the
server on press(...))
- special support for checkboxes (only checkboxes with defined
value are submitted to the server, undefined ones are left
out)
- support for image buttons
- support for HTML 4.0 button tags (they are handled identically
to their input equivalents)
- when the form-tag doesn't have a method attribute, GET is assumed
