<p>[httpc] Fix bug crafting Host header when port is not 80. </p>
<p>The host header should include the port number as well as the
host name when making a request to a server listening on a port
other than the HTTP default of 80. Currently, only the host
name is included. This is important to make the http client
more compliant with the HTTP specification. </p>

<p>[httpc|httpd] http_chunk data handling/passing improvement. </p>
<p>This is a modification to the http_chunk module to forward any
full chunk received, regardless of whether the size field for the
following chunk has been received yet. This allows http_chunk to
be used in situations where a long term HTTP connection is used to
send periodic status updates as individual chunks. Previously a
given chunk would not be forwarded to the client process until the
size for the next chunk had been read which rendered the module
difficult to use for the scenario described. </p>

<p>[httpc] Several more or less critical fixes:</p>
<p>
<list type="bulleted">
<item>
<p>Initial call between the httpc manager and request
handler was synchronous. </p>
<p>When the manager starts a new request handler,
this is no longer a synchronous operation. Previously,
the new request handler made the connection to the
server and issuing of the first request (the reason
for starting it) in the gen_server init function.
If the connection for some reason "took some time",
the manager hanged, leaving all other activities by
that manager also hanging. </p>

(the old module <c>http</c> is <em>not</em> removed, but is

<p>It is now also possible to start a standalone FTP client

<p>This is an alternative to starting the client using the
<seealso marker="ftp#service_start">inets service framework</seealso>. </p>
<p>The old <c>ftp:open/1</c>, undocumented, function,

<p>Previously, the FTP client attempted to use IPv6,

<p>A new option,

<c>inet</c> (IPv4). </p>

<p>[ftpc] - The

and the
<seealso marker="ftp#nlist2">nlist/2</seealso> function
(NLST command)
with wildcards did
not work properly. </p>
<p>These functions is documented as working on directories, but
this is actually not according the standard. The LIST and NLST
commands are specified to operate on a directory or other
group of files, or a file.</p>
<p>Previously, an attempt was made to check if the listing
returned by the server was actually an error message. This
was done by changing remote directory (cd) into the
(assumed) "directory". This may work if Pathname was actually
a directory, but as this is not always the case, this test
does not work. Instead, we now return the actual server
result and leave the interpretation to the caller. </p>

<p>[httpc] - Raise condition.
When http:request is called and httpc_manager selects a session
where there's already a pending request, then the connection
handler for that session effectively resets its parser, readying
it for the response to the second request. But if there are still
some inbound packets for the response to the first request, things
get confused.</p>

(example: erl -httpd_8888 <descriptor>)
it is now possible to specify which ip-family to use:
<c>inet | inet6 | inet6fb4</c>. </p>
<p>Example: erl -httpd_8888 10|inet6</p>
<p>When starting the web-server either using a file with
property list (the proplist_file) or a an property list,
using the ipfamily option:
<c>{ipfamily, inet | inet6 | inet6fb4}</c>. </p>
<p>Finally, when starting the web-server using the classical
apache-style config file, the <c>BindAddress</c> directive
has been augmented to allow the specification of the
IpFamily: <c>BindAddress blirk.ericsson.se|inet</c></p>
<p>Default is <c>inet6fb4</c> which emulates the
behaviour of the previous version. </p>

[tftp] If a callback (which performs the file access in
the TFTP server) takes too long time (more than the
double TFTP timeout), the server will abort the
connection and send an error reply to the client. This
implies that the server will release resources attached
to the connection faster than before. The server simply
assumes that the client has given up.</p>
<p>
[tftp] If the TFTP server receives yet another request
from the same client (same host and port) while it
already has an active connection to the client, it will
simply ignore the new request if the request is equal
with the first one (same filename and options). This
implies that the (new) client will be served by the
already ongoing connection on the server side. By not
setting up yet another connection, in parallel with the
ongoing one, the server will consumer lesser resources.</p>
<p>
[tftp] netascii mode is now supported when the
client/server has native ascii support (Windows). The new
optional parameter native_ascii in the tftp_binary and
tftp_file callback modules can be used to override the
default behavior.</p>
<p>
[tftp] Yet another callback module has been added in
order to allow customized handling of error, warning and
info messages. See the new configuration parameter,
logger.</p>
<p>
[tftp] Yet another configuration parameter, max_retries,
has been added in order to control the number of times a
packet can be resent. The default is 5.</p>
<p>
[tftp] tftp:info/1 and tftp:change_config/2 can now be
applied to all daemons or all servers in one command
without bothering about their process identifiers.</p>

[httpd] - Changed validity check on bind_address so that
it uses inet:getaddr instead of inet:gethostbyaddr as the
former puts a too hard restriction on the bind_address.</p>

[httpc] - Internal process now does try-catch and
terminates normally in case of HTTP parse errors.
Semantical the client works just as before returning an
error message to the client, even if the error massage
has been enhanced, but there is no supervisor report in
the shell of a internal process crashing. (Which was the
expected behavior and not a fault.)</p>

[httpd, httpc] - Deprecated base64 decode/encode
functions have been removed. Inets uses base64 in STDLIB
instead.</p>

[httpd] - It is now possible to restrict the length of
acceptable URI:s in the HTTP server.</p>

<p>
[httpc] - Profiles are now supported i.e. the options
available in set_options/1 can be set locally for a
certain profile and do not have to affect all
HTTP-requests issued in the Erlang node. Calls to the
HTTP client API functions not using the profile argument
will use the default profile.</p>

A new uniform Inets interface provides a flexible way to
start/stop Inets services and get information about
running services. See inets(3). This also means that
inflexibilities in the HTTP server has been removed and
more default values has been added.</p>

[tftp] Logged errors have been changed to be logged

[httpc] - The client will now return the proper value
when receiving a HTTP 204 code instead of hanging.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-6982</p>

<p>
The Inets application now has to be explicitly started
and stopped i.e. it will not automatically be started as
a temporary application as it did before. Although a
practical feature when testing things in the shell it is
not desirable that people take advantage of this and not
start the Inets application in a correct way in their
products. Added functions to the Inets API that call
application:start/stop.</p>
