chklinks change log
2007-12-05 version 3.09
MS-Windows fix.
1. chklinks: Fixed the "from" address of the user agent to use
getlogin() and then getpwuid(), in order to work on systems
that only have getlogin() but not getpwuid(), like MS-Windows.
2007-12-05 version 3.08
Documentation fixes.
1. README.zh-*, chklinks.zh-*.html: Fixed the description
"¬O¥Î Perl ¼gªº³æ°õ¦æºü³sµ²Àˬdµ{¦¡" to "¬O³æ°õ¦æºüªº Perl ³sµ²
Àˬdµ{¦¡", according to the existing short description in
README.zh-tw. I was out of my mind to miss this and translate
it again.
2. chklinks.zh-tw.html, chklinks.zh-cn.html: Removed the old
excess LWP/UTF-8 paragraph from the Notes section.
3. chklinks.en.html: Fixed "for a LWP::Protocol patch" to

copied and pasted without reviewing.

2. Added %ALLOWED_SCHEMES, with 5 protocols supported: http, https,
ftp, file and gopher, which are supported protocols common to LWP
and URI.
3. parse_args() and proc_link_val(): Modified to respect
%ALLOWED_SCHEMES instead of filtering out everything but HTTP.

"We will never parse the remote documents" to
"We are not parsing remote documents".

"Skipping scheme-less URI" to "Skipping URI without a scheme",
change "Skipping hostless URI" to "Skipping URI without a host".

myself. Added fetch_doc_noredir(), fetch_doc_redir(), get_ua()
and get_target() to replace fetch_http(), fetch_http_redir(),
new_http() and re_http().
8. Changed User-Agent text from chklinks/version to
chklinks-robot/version.
9. Use HTTP::Cookies to save and use the cookies. As $COOKIE_JAR
as the common cookie jar for all the UA objects.
10. Added noreq_key() and %NOREQ_HOSTS to prevent bothering servers
that are not available and returning HTTP 503.
