• fix HEAD request. Remove the need to call the body method
• fix: remove undefined function references
• tests: start to handle tests with httpbin

Breaking change:

• fix: HTTP proxying, only resolve the proxy domain.
• bump hackney_lib to 0.3.0

Breaking change:

the mimetypes has been replaced by the hackney_mimetypes module. It makes content-type detection a little more efficient. In the process the functions hackney_util:content_type/1 and hackney_bstr:content_type/1 has been removed. You should now use the function hackney_mimetypes:filename/1 .

0.11.2 - 2014/04/15

0.10.0 - 2013/12/29

• improve multipart handling: With this change, we can now calculate the full multipart stream content-length using hackney_multipart:len_mp_stream/2 .
• add hackney:setopts/2 to set options to a request when reusing it.
• add hackney:send_reques/3 to pass new options to a request.
• add the {stream_to, Pid} setting to a request to send the messages from an asynchronous response to another PID.
• fix Host header: some server do not comply well with the spec and fail to parse the port when they are listening on 80 or 443. This change fix it.
• fix: make sure we are re-using connections with asynchronous responses.

Breaking changes:

• All messages from an async response are now under the format {hackney_response, Ref, ... } to distinct hackney messages from others in a process easily.
• You can only make an async response at a time. Ie if you are are doing a persistent request (reusing the same reference) you will need to pass the async option again to the request. For that purpose the functions hackney:send_request/3 and hackney:setopts/2 have been added.
