- [tftp] The callback watchdog has been removed, as it - turned out to be counter productive when the disk was - overloaded. Earlier a connection was aborted when a - callback (which performs the file access in the TFTP - server) took too long time.

-

- [tftp] The error message "Too many connections" has been - reclassified to be a warning.

- [httpc, httpd] - Now follows the recommendation regarding - line terminators in section 19.3 in RFC 2616 e.i: "The - line terminator for message-header fields is the sequence - CRLF. However, we recommend that applications, when - parsing such headers, recognize a single LF as a line - terminator and ignore the leading CR".

Inets 5.0.6 - -
Improvements and New Features - - -

- [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.

-

- [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.

-

- [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.

-

- [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.

-

- [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.

-

- [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.

Improvements and New Features - - -

- [tftp] Blocks with too low block numbers are silently - discarded. For example if a server receives block #5 when - it expects block #7 it will discard the block without - interrupting the file transfer. Too high block numbers - does still imply an error. External TR HI96072.

- [tftp] The problem with occasional case_clause errors in - tftp_engine:common_read/7 has been fixed. External TR - HI97362.

- [httpc] - Added acceptance of missing reason phrase to - the relaxed mode.

- [httpd] - Deprecated function httpd:start/1 did not - accept all inputs that it had done previously. This - should now work again.

-

- Own Id: OTP-7040

- - -
- -
Improvements and New Features - - -

- [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.

-

- Own Id: OTP-7041 Aux Id: seq10829

- - -

- [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.)

- - -
- -
- -
Inets 5.0 - -
Improvements and New Features - - -

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

-

- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

-

- Own Id: OTP-6485

- - -

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

-

- Own Id: OTP-6572

- - -

- [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.

-

- Own Id: OTP-6690

- - -

- 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.

-

- Own Id: OTP-6705

- - -

- [tftp] Logged errors have been changed to be logged - warnings.

-

- Own Id: OTP-6916 Aux Id: seq10737

- - -

- [httpc] - The client will now return the proper value - when receiving a HTTP 204 code instead of hanging.

-

- Own Id: OTP-6982

- - -

- 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.
