Revision history for PerlDAV

v0.42 (released 2010/11/07):

  • bug fixes

    - Fixed RT #60457 (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=60457),
      Added and documented possibility to pass your own custom HTTP headers.
    - Fixed errors in the code examples in the synopsis.

v0.41 (released 2010/07/24):

  • bug fixes

      - Fixed RT #59674 (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=59674),
    	When SSL support is needed but not installed, a more specific
        error messages is now displayed, instead of "not DAV enabled or not accessible".

v0.40 (released 2010/01/27):

  • bug fixes

      - Fixed RT #47500 (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=47500),
    	HTTP::DAV::Comms->credentials() method erroneously autovivified
    	basic authentication internal values, causing wrong or undefined
    	credentials to be sent out, or credentials to be "forgot" by HTTP::DAV.

v0.39 (released 2009/12/12):

  • bug fixes

      - Fixed RT #52665 (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=52665),
    	Using dave or propfind() on URLs containing escaped chars (%xx) could fail,
    	due to upper/lower case differences. Thanks to cebjyre for the patch
    	and the test case.

v0.38 (released 2009/06/09):

  • bug fixes

    - Fixed RT #14506 (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=14506),
      about the missing get_lastresponse() method. It was a documentation bug.
    
    - Fixed RT #29788 (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=29788),
      avoid file corruptions on Win32 when calling HTTP::DAV::get() method.
    
    - Fixed RT #31014 (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=31014),
      probably already in v0.34, since it seems related to propfind() "depth" bug.

v0.37 (released 2009/03/24):

  • bug fixes

      - Fixed RT #44409 (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=44409),
        Small bug in HTTP::DAV::put(). Passing a reference as local content resulted
    	in the "SCALAR(0x12345678)" being logged instead of the real scalar.

v0.36 (released 2009/02/25):

  • bug fixes

      - Fixed RT #19616 (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=19616),
        LWP::UserAgent::redirect_ok() is not changed anymore. We're subclassing
        it from HTTP::DAV::UserAgent and overriding redirect_ok() there.
    
      - Fixed RT #42877 (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=42877),
        HTTP::DAV::UserAgent::credentials() has been modified to behave like
        LWP::UserAgent::credentials(), otherwise basic authentication breakages
        can occur.
    
      - Fixed a problem with C<-depth> argument to C<HTTP::DAV::propfind()> that
        could lead to massive performance degradation, especially when running
    	C<propfind()> against large folders.
    	C<-depth> was set to 1 even when passed as zero.

v0.35 (released 2008/11/03):

  • bug fixes

    - Fixed RT #40318 (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=40318),
      about getting single or multiple files directly to \*STDOUT.

v0.34 (released 2008/09/11):

  • bug fixes

    - Fixed RT #39150 (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=39150),
      about downloading multiple files in the same directory.

v0.33 (released 2008/08/24):

  • documentation

    - Clearly state that opera software asa is now co-maintainer of http::dav
    
    - Fixed various inconsistencies in the v0.32 documentation

v0.32 (released 2008/08/24):

  • incompatibilities

    - Now HTTP::DAV requires Perl 5.6.0+ and Scalar::Util (core in 5.8.x).
  • bug fixes

    - Now HTTP::DAV objects are correctly released from memory when
      they go out of scope. Now it should be possible to use multiple instances
      of HTTP::DAV even in long-running processes.
    
      Was caused by circular references between HTTP::DAV and HTTP::DAV::Resource.

v0.31 (released 2002/04/13):

  • Apache 2 mod_dav support

    - Now works with mod_dav under Apache 2.
  • bug fixes

    - Fixed bug to correctly handle the put/get of filenames with spaces in them.
    
    - Fixed bug to allow the PUT of empty files.
    
    - put() now uses binmode so that it works under Windows.
    
    - HTTP redirect code added in the previous release was incorrectly returning a HTTP::Response instead of a HTTP::DAV::Response
    
    - Fixed bug to allow https for copy and move (http:// was hardcoded).
    
    - Fixed strange copy/move bug for Apache2.0's mod_dav.

v0.29 (released 2001/10/31):

  • https

    https support as provided from the underlying LWP library has been tested against mod_dav and mod_ssl. Seems to work well. See INSTALLATION for more detail.

  • Digest authentication

    Requires MD5 to be installed. See INSTALLATION notes.

  • various bug fixes

  • more powerful callback support for get()

    Useful for giving progress indicators.

  • get() to filehandles and scalar references

    the get() routine now allows you to pass by reference a filehandle or scalar in which to save the contents of the GET request.

  • added namespace abbreviations in proppatch

    Thanks to Jeremy for this patch.

  • improved redirect handling in Comms.pm

    Thanks to Jeremy for this patch.

v0.23 (released 2001/09/07):

  • file globbing for get and put

    HTTP::DAV::get() and HTTP::DAV::put() now supports file globs. This functionality also propagates to dave. This allows you to do the following:

    dav> put /tmp/index*.html
    dav> get index[12].htm? /tmp
    
    ?,* and sets ([]) are supported. See the docs for details.

    HTTP::DAV now requires the Perl module File::Glob which comes bundled with perl5.6 and later.

  • bug fix in -overwrite flag in HTTP::DAV::copy/move.

v0.22 (released 2001/09/03)

Complete overhaul of API, recursive get and put, addition of dave.

  • dave -- the new command line client

    I wrote dave (the DAV Explorer) because I needed an end-user application that allowed me to "feel" how well the HTTP::DAV API was performing. dave is quite similar to Joe Orton's C-based DAV client called cadaver (yes, imitation is the best form of flattery).

  • A new and simpler API

    This new API is accessed directly through the HTTP::DAV module and is based on the core API written in previous releases.

  • new methods

    The new API now supports, proppatch, recursive get and put.

  • A substantial core API overhaul

    Moving from v0.05 to v0.22 in one release might indicate the amount of work gone into this release.

  • A new interoperability test suite

    is now included in PerlDAV. The test suite is built on top of the standard Perl Test::Harness modules. Still in development, the test suite is highlighting interoperability problems with DAV-servers a lot quicker than before. See "the test suite & interoperability" section.

v0.05 (released 2001/07/24)

General bug fixes and addition of proppatch

- added PROPPATCH method to HTTP::DAV::Resource, thanks to Sylvain Plancon.
- fixed uninitialized warnings in test scripts.
- fixed new lock bug in DAV::Lock, thanks to Ben Evans
- fixed dumb mistake where PUT was calling get instead of put, 
  thanks to Sylvain and Ben again.
