v0.8

Additions

• Function plz now accepts a :filter argument which can be used to override the default process filter (e.g. for streaming responses). (#43, #50. Thanks to Roman Scherer.)

v0.7

Changes

• A new error signal, plz-error, is defined. The existing signals, plz-curl-error and plz-http-error, inherit from it, so handling plz-error catches both.

  NOTE: The existing signals, plz-curl-error and plz-http-error, are hereby deprecated, and they will be removed in v0.8. Applications should be updated while using v0.7 to only expect plz-error.

Fixes

• Significant improvement in reliability by implementing failsafes and workarounds for Emacs's process-handling code. (See #3.)
• STDERR output from curl processes is not included in response bodies (which sometimes happened, depending on Emacs's internal race conditions). (Fixes #23.)
• Use with-local-quit for synchronous requests (preventing Emacs from complaining sometimes). (Fixes #26.)
• Various fixes for :as 'buffer result type: decode body when appropriate; unset multibyte for binary; narrow to body; don't kill buffer prematurely.
• When clearing a queue, don't try to kill finished processes.

Internal

• Response processing now happens outside the process sentinel, so any errors (e.g. in user callbacks) are not signaled from inside the sentinel. (This avoids the 2-second pause Emacs imposes in such cases.)
• Tests run against a local instance of httpbin (since the httpbin.org server is often overloaded).
• No buffer-local variables are defined anymore; process properties are used instead.

v0.6

Additions

• Function plz’s :body argument now accepts a list like (file FILENAME) to upload a file from disk (by passing the filename to curl, rather than reading its content into Emacs and sending it to curl through the pipe).

Fixes

• Function plz’s docstring now mentions that the :body argument may also be a buffer (an intentional feature that was accidentally undocumented).
• Handle HTTP 3xx redirects when using :as 'response.

v0.5.3

0.5.3

Fixes

• Move new slot in plz-queue struct to end to prevent invalid byte-compiler expansions for already-compiled applications (which would require them to be recompiled after upgrading plz).

0.5.2

Fixes

• When clearing a queue, only call plz-queue’s finally function when specified.

0.5.1

Fixes

• Only call plz-queue’s finally function when specified. (Thanks to Dan Oriani for reporting.)

0.5

Additions

• Struct plz-queue’s finally slot, a function called when the queue is finished.

v0.4

Additions

• Support for HTTP HEAD requests. (Thanks to USHIN, Inc. for sponsoring.)

Changes

• Allow sending POST and PUT requests without bodies. (#16. Thanks to Joseph Turner for reporting. Thanks to USHIN, Inc. for sponsoring.)

Fixes

• All 2xx HTTP status codes are considered successful. (#17. Thanks to Joseph Turner for reporting. Thanks to USHIN, Inc. for sponsoring.)
• Errors are signaled with error data correctly.

Internal

• Test suite explicitly tests with both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.
• Test suite also tests with Emacs versions 27.2, 28.1, and 28.2.
