Revision history for Perl extension CGI::Header.
0.44 Apr 9th, 2013
[INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES]
- Revise new() entirely
0.43 Apr 8th, 2013
[INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES]
- Remove dispatch tables used by set() and delete()
- Remove tie() interface
0.42 Apr 8th, 2013
- Add handler() attribute which defaults to 'header'.
If handler() is set to 'redirect', as_string() will invoke:
$h->query->redirect( $h->header )
[INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES]
- Remove CGI::Header::Redirect and t/31_cgi_redirect.t
- Remove t/32_nph_pragma.t
- Remove push_p3p()
0.41 Apr 8th, 2013
- CGI::Header::Redirect is obsolete and will be removed in 0.42
[INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES]
- Simplify get() and exists(). Namely,
$h->get('Content-Type');
$h->exists('Content-Type');
become:
$h->as_hashref->{'Conetent-Type'};
exists $h->as_hashref->{'Content-Type'};
- Remove the following methods:
* is_empty
* field_names
* is_empty
* SCALAR
* p3p_tags
- Normalized property names doesn't start with a dash,
and also use dashes instead of underscores:
"-Content_Length" -> "content-length"
[ROADMAP]
Dispatch tables used by get(), set(), exists() and delete() will be
removed gradually, and so ver. 0.4x will be quite unstable.
Sorry for your inconvenience.
0.40 Apr 7th, 2013
- field_names() is obsolete and will be removed in 0.41
- Add as_hashref(). get() and exists() will be replaced with this method:
$h->get('Content-Type'); # <=> $h->as_hashref->{'Content-Type'}
$h->exists('Content-Type'); # <=> exists $h->as_hashref->{'Content-Type'}
- p3p_tags() is obsolete and will be renamed to p3p() in 0.41
- each() is obsolete and will be removed in 0.41
- is_empty() is obsolete and will be removed in 0.41
- Add the following methods:
* charset
* cookie
* location
* push_cookie
* push_p3p
* status
* target
* type
[INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES]
- Doesn't overload '""' and 'bool' anymore
- flatten() doesn't accept any argument
0.35 Mar 22nd, 2013
- lc() is obsolete and will be removed in 0.36
- get(), set(), exists() or delete() throws an exception
in the following situation:
$header->set( 'Type' => 'text/plain' );
# die "'-type' can't be used as a field name"
- SCALAR returns true if the -nph pragma is enabled
- Since the following class methods are unstable,
they are not documented:
* normalize_field_name
* normalize_property_name
* get_property_names
* is_reserved_name
* get_alias
0.34 Mar 16th, 2013
- Add support for -nph pragma:
use CGI qw(-nph);
my $h = CGI::Header->new;
$h->nph; # => true
If -nph pragma is enabled, you can't set nph() to FALSE:
$h->nph(0); # die "Modification of a read-only value attempted"
You can check whether the pragma is enabled or not as follows:
$h->query->nph; # <=> $CGI::NPH
You can also set $CGI::NPH to FALSE:
$h->query->nph(0);
$h->nph(0); # lives_ok
0.33 Mar 15th, 2013
- Add tests for CGI::Header::Redirect
- Fix POD: "CGI::Header::Redirect#is_empty always returns false"
- Update dispatch tables to maintain this module more easily
- Add the following class methods:
* time2str
* normalize
0.32 Mar 9th, 2013
- Add CGI::Header::Redirect, an adapter for the CGI::redirect() function.
CGI::Header::Redirect inherits from CGI::Header, and also overrides
some methods.
0.31 Mar 8th, 2013
- add get_alias() which returns the alias of the given property name:
my $alias = CGI::Header->get_alias('content_type'); # => 'type'
0.30 Mar 4th, 2013
- The following operators are overloaded:
"" -> as_string
bool -> SCALAR
- env() is obsolete and will be removed in 0.31.
[DOCUMENTATION]
Add "WRITING Blosxom PLUGINS" to "EXAMPLES"
[INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES]
Summary: env() was replaced with query()
- Add query() method which returns your query object.
You can't pass your current environment (\%ENV) to new() anymore.
Namely,
my $header = { -type => 'text/plain' };
my $h = CGI::Header->new( $header, \%ENV );
become
use CGI;
my $query = CGI->new;
my $h = CGI::Header->new( $header, $query );
query() defaults to $CGI::Q. Functions exported by CGI.pm
depends on this query object. In other words, when you choose
the procedural interface of CGI.pm, the module behaves like
a Singleton class.
# $query can be omitted when you choose the procedural
# interface of CGI.pm
my $h = CGI::Header->new( $header );
- as_string() become a shortcut for:
$h->query->header( $h->header )
and so you can't pass $eol to as_string() anymore.
[ROADMAP]
CGI::Header is not compatible with CGI::Simple at this time.
This module will be adapted to CGI::Simple gradually.
(no_cache() isn't supported by CGI.pm, for example)
0.22 Feb 26th, 2013
This distribution doesn't contain CGI::Header::PSGI anymore,
which was separated into another distribution, CGI-Header-PSGI.
The following files were removed:
- lib/CGI/Header/PSGI.pm
- t/31_psgi_header.t
- t/40_psgi_header.t
- t/41_psgi_redirect.t
This distribution doesn't require the following modules anymore:
- Exporter
- CGI::PSGI (for testing)
There are no code changes besides incrementing the version number
since CGI-Header-0.21.
0.21 Feb 25th, 2013
[CGI::Header::PSGI]
- psgi_header() is compatible with CGI::Simple's header() method.
Namely, psgi_header() can be configured by no_cache() method.
If no_cache() isn't available, that method will be ignored simply.
And so psgi_header() is compatible with CGI.pm as well.
- I'm not sure about whether to use Role::Tiny ;)
- [BUG FIX] psgi_redirect() invokes self_url(), not url()
- Imports CGI::PSGI's psgi_headers.t and redirect.t
0.20 Feb 24th, 2013
- Add "REQUIRED METHODS" to CGI::Header::PSGI's POD
0.19 Feb 11th, 2013
Add CGI::Header::PSGI which exports two methods on demand: psgi_header()
and psgi_redirect().
use parent 'CGI';
use CGI::Header::PSGI qw(psgi_header psgi_redirect);
CGI::Header::PSGI helps you create your own CGI::PSGI-compatible class.
[INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES]
- rehash() and new() rename '-uri' and '-url' to '-location'
- flatten() and each() stringify CGI::Cookie objects by default.
0.18 Feb 9th, 2013
- You can pass a media type to new() in the following situation:
my $h = CGI::Header->new('text/plain');
$h->header; # => { -type => 'text/plain' }
- new() throws an exception in the following situation:
my $h = CGI::Header->new( -foo => 'bar', '-baz' );
# die "Odd number of elements in hash assignment"
[STATE OF THIS MODULE]
The following methods are unstable:
- $h->set( 'Content-Type => $value )
- $h->set( 'P3P' => $value )
- $h->set( 'Expires' => $value )
I'm not sure about how to process these headers properly at this time.
0.17 Jan 18th, 2013
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Add "EXAMPLES" and "DEPENDENCIES"
[INTERNALS]
- Fix META.yml ("version" was broken)
0.16 Jan 14th, 2013
[INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES]
- rehash() throws an exception when a property name is duplicated:
my $header = {
-Type => 'text/plain',
Content_Type => 'text/html',
};
my $h = CGI::Header->new( $header );
$h->rehash; # die "Property '-type' already exists"
If it was allowed to overwrite existent properties,
it would be essentially impossible to predict
the overwritten value of '-type' in the above example:
$h->header->{-type}; # => 'text/html' or 'text/plain' ?
- In addition to CGI.pm-compatible HTTP header properties,
new() accepts '-env' property which represents your current environment:
my $h = CGI::Header->new(
-type => 'text/plain',
-env => \%ENV,
);
$h->header; # => { -type => 'text/plain' }
$h->env; # => \%ENV
Unlike the above case, if a property name is duplicated,
that property will be overwritten silently:
my $h = CGI::Header->new(
-Type => 'text/plain',
Content_Type => 'text/html',
);
$h->header->{-type}; # => "text/html"
[INTERNALS]
Add a subtest called 'as_string()' to t/10_basic.t
0.15 Jan 11th, 2013
Add env() which defaults to \%ENV. new() receives an additional
argument which determines the value of the attribute.
my $header = CGI::Header->new({ -type => 'text/plain' }, \%ENV);
$header->env; # => \%ENV
[INTERNALS]
- Add psgi_headers.t which requires CGI::PSGI
- new() returns an object based on a blessed hash.
0.14 Jan 9th, 2013
- set() and delete() throw exceptions when the specified header field
is read-only.
- get() returns undef in the following situations:
$header->header; # => { -expires => q{}, ... }
$header->get( 'Expires' ); # => undef
$header->header; # => { -p3p => q{}, ... }
$header->get( 'P3P' ); # => undef
[INTERNALS]
id() is aliased to Scalar::Util::refaddr()
0.13 Jan 8th, 2013
- clear() and each() return the current object itself
- set() returns the given value:
$header->set( 'Foo' => 'bar' ); # => "bar"
[BUG FIXES]
Correct the following warning message:
"Can't set '-content_type' to neither undef nor an empty string"
This message was replaced with:
"Can set '-content_type' to neither undef nor an empty string"
[DOCUMENTATION]
Add "Server" and "Date" to "LIMITATIONS"
0.12 Jan 7th, 2013
[INTERNALS]
- Rename _normalize() to _lc()
- Add a benchmark against HTTP::Response->parse
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Add HTTP::Headers to "SEE ALSO"
0.11 Dec 16th, 2012
- Add FIRSTKEY() and NEXTKEY(). These methods were implemented to
test this module itself.
- flatten() receives optional $is_recursive argument
which determines whether to flatten the Set-Cookie headers recursively.
$is_recursive defaults to true.
- flatten() and each() don't stringify CGI::Cookie objects.
- field_names() returns a list of field names in a random order
0.10 Dec 14th, 2012
- p3p_tags() returns the number of P3P tags
instead of the first element in scalar context
- rehash() returns the current object itself:
my @headers = CGI::Header->new(@args)->rehash->flatten;
- each() doesn't depend on field_names().
field_names() depends on each().
As a result, if Set-Cookie header is multi-valued,
field_names() will return a list which contains duplicate values.
I don't know how to solve this problem at this time.
0.09 Nov 13th, 2012
- CGI.pm has charset() attribute which defaults to 'ISO-8859-1'.
CGI::header() function depends on this attribute.
I noticed this module depends on the default value, 'ISO-8859-1',
and so decided to remove this dependency because this module
shouldn't depend on the internal state of CGI.pm.
Namely,
my $h = CGI::Header->new( -type => 'text/plain' );
$h->get( 'Content-Type' ); # => "text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1"
become
$h->get( 'Content-Type' ); # => "text/plain"
0.08 Nov 13th, 2012
- reimplemented rehash()
- [DOCUMENTATION] add header() to "INSTANCE METHODS"
- [DOCUMENTATION] describe how this module normalizes parameter names
0.07 Nov 12th, 2012
- [DOCUMENTATION] add "tie() INTERFACE"
0.06 Nov 11th, 2012
- First release
0.05 Nov 10th, 2012
- add rehash() method which rebuilds header hash references
0.04 Nov 7th, 2012
- reorganized tests using subtest() function exported by Test::More
- doesn't overload '""' (stringify) with as_string()
because this module isn't the replacement of CGI::header() function.
I think CGI::header() should be used to stringify
header hash references in most cases.
- each() doesn't stringify values (cf. HTTP::Headers->scan),
and so the callback function will receive raw CGI::Cookie objects.
- On the other hand, flatten() forces stringification.
flatten() may be called to generate PSGI-compatible header array
references.
0.03 Oct 7th, 2012
- add a benchmark against HTTP::Parser::XS
- update POD
- add t/server.t
- tests require CGI.pm 3.51 because the distribution contains t/headers.t
0.02 Oct 4th, 2012
- tests require CGI.pm 3.60 and HTTP::Date
- fix typo
0.01 Sep 23rd, 2012
- Forked from Blosxom::Header
