<p>http_base_64:encode/decode and
httpd_util:to_upper/to_lower are now deprecated, as these
functions has been moved to stdlib, using them will now
cause an compiler warning and the documentation of them
has been removed.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-6716</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>When making an asynchronous HTTP request and the
underlying gen_tcp:connect failed with timeout (not a
very common case) the return of the asynchronous HTTP
request was delayed for "timeout" seconds. This happened
due to the fact that when spawning a gen_server process
the spawn will wait for the init function to complete.
This is now avoided using proc_lib and
gen_server:enter_loop/3, hence the asynchronous HTTP
request return will not be delayed. Also the request
timeout value is now propagated to gen_tcp rather that
relying on the system default.</p>

<p>[tftp] The TFTP client/server implements now a more

<p>[httpd] - The http server could throw away pipelined
requests leaving the client hanging.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-6310</p>

<item>
<p>[ftp] - Code for handling fallback to ipv4 was not
exhaustive.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-6312</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>[httpd] - Incorrect handling of ipv6 address would crash
the loading of the BindAddress parameter, which had the
consequence that you could not start more than one HTTP
server on an erlang node.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-6323</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>[httpc] - Some 30X codes, as for instance 302, should not
always be automatically redirected but in inets-4.7.6 some
restrictions where made too hard, never allowing an
automatic redirection. (Automatic redirect should be
allowed for get and head.)</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-6332</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>[ftp] - The mode flag that could be used to force ftp
active mode was ignored. Only the deprecated function
force_active/1 works for prior releases to this one.</p>

<p>[httpc] - The parsing of uri's was rewritten so that it
should handle all types of uri's including ipv6 uri's.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-5677</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>[httpc, httpd] - Extensions and trailers where not
properly handled by the chunk decoding implementation.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-6005 Aux Id: OTP-6264 </p>
</item>
<item>
<p>[httpc] - A request resulting in an empty body is now
returned without any delays.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-6243</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>[httpc] - When http:request/4 was used with a configured
proxy, and the webserver returns 3XX code, http:request/4
entered an endless loop. Two problems was solved in this
area, the absolute uri is now updated when a redirect is
issued, so that the problem in this case will not arise,
and the redirection endless loop detection was fixed so
that will actually detect potential endless loops.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-6244</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>[httpc, httpd] - In some cases if a body contained the
sequence "\r\n0" and was chunked encoded this sequence
was incorrectly interpreted as the last chunk.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-6264 Aux Id: OTP-6005 </p>
</item>
<item>
<p>[httpc, httpd] - http_request.erl didn't handle https
URIs, which meant that redirects from ESI did not work.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-6274</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>[httpc, httpd] - The base 64 decoder was missing a guard
so that invalid input lead to an emulator crash instead
of a function clause as expected. Also the http server
has been improved to handle the function clause error
returning a bad credentials reply to the client.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-6279</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>[httpc] - Changed internal default value as it sometimes
would be interpreted incorrectly causing the client to
return an incomplete body.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-6283</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>[httpc] - Handling of 30X codes was changed so that it
works according to the documentation. For instance 301
and 302 codes will not be automatically redirected.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-6297</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>[httpc] - A bug in the pipeline-handling code could cause
a response to be sent to the client with an incorrect
request id.</p>

</item>
</list>
</section>
<section>
<title>Improvements and New Features</title>
<list type="bulleted">
<item>
<p>[httpc] - Added feature to send header values as they
where typed by the user of the client. Note that the http
standard requires them to be case insensitive. This
feature should only be used if there is no other way to
communicate with the server or for testing purpose.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-5527</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>[httpc] - When using asynchronous HTTP-request it is now
possible to receive "200-responses" as streams instead of
having to wait until the whole response has been
delivered. It also possible to stream "200-response
bodys" to a file both for synchronous and asynchronous
requests.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-6263</p>

<p>The internal design of using blocking gen_tcp:recv with a
timeout and retries resulted in code that was hard to get
a good overview of, and ultimate led to situations where
the client got the wrong answer or no answer at all. The
errors where many times very timing dependent and mainly
effected the chunk-related functions, so if you where
lucky you probably would not have noticed. The internal
design was changed to use gen_tcp active once semantics.
The API is not effected except for the function
ftp:quote/2 which now returns a list of strings (ftp
result lines) where the line endings "\r\n" has been
removed. This was the original intention for the return
value of ftp:quote/2 but it was non trivial to make a
good such solution with the old design and a compromise
was made.</p>

<p>Wrapper function http_transport:accept/3 did
error-handling that it should not do because only the

module http_transport changed the action of the wrapper
module and made the unwanted behavior noticeable in in
OTP error logs. And now the unwanted error handling has
been removed. The cleanup helped us find bad code but

<p>The http client pipelining implementation has been
rewritten as the old implementation was too optimistic
about when to pipeline. In the process of doing this also
the error handling was improved, better clean up is
performed when the request handling process terminates
and better handling of the case that the httpc_manager
process dies and is restarted.</p>

<p>Changing the base 64 decoding to not accept invalid
input, uncovered a logical error in mod_security.erl An
already decoded string was sent as input to decode. In
this case, as it so happened, the two errors worked
together creating the illusion that everything was right.

<p>Due to several possibilities to interpret the ftp
standard some newer ftp-servers have interpreted the
standard in such a way that the documented return value
of ftp:nlist/2 does not always match the actual return
value. Some extra checks have now been added to ensure
the documented return value. This will also result in
that ftp:nlist is not bug compatible in the case that
nlist is given a filename instead of a directory it will
now return an error instead of {ok, FileName}.</p>
