response Status-Line. Patch provided by Jeroen Koops.
http://github.com/cmullaparthi/ibrowse/issues/issue/16

* Fixed http://github.com/cmullaparthi/ibrowse/issues/issue/17
This was reported by Filipe David Manana.

* Fixed http://github.com/cmullaparthi/ibrowse/issues/issue/19
This was reported by Dan Kelley and Filipe David Manana.

* Added ibrowse:stream_close/1 to close the connection
associated with a certain response stream. Patch provided by
Jo?o Lopes.

* Prevent port number being included in the Host header when port
443 is intended. Bug reported by Andrew Tunnell-Jones

24-09-2010 - v2.0.1
* Removed a spurious io:format statement

22-09-2010 - v2.0.0.

* Added option preserve_chunked_encoding. This allows the
caller to get the raw HTTP response when the
Transfer-Encoding is Chunked. This feature was requested
by Benoit Chesneau who wanted to write a HTTP proxy using
ibrowse.

* Fixed bug with the {stream_to, {Pid, once}} option. Bug
report and lot of help from Filipe David Manana. Thank
you Filipe.

* The {error, conn_failed} and {error, send_failed} return
values are now of the form {error, {conn_failed, Err}}
and {error, {send_failed, Err}}. This is so that the
specific socket error can be returned to the caller. I
think it looks a bit ugly, but that is the best
compromise I could come up with.

* Added application configuration parameters
default_max_sessions and default_max_pipeline_size. These
were previously hard coded to 10.

* Versioning of ibrowse now follows the Semantic Versioning
principles. See http://semver.org. Thanks to Anthony
Molinaro for nudging me in this direction.

* The connect_timeout option now only applies to the
connection setup phase. In previous versions, the time
taken to setup the connection was deducted from the
specified timeout value for the request.

17-07-2010 - * Merged change made by Filipe David Manana to use the base64
module for encoding/decoding.

11-06-2010 - * Removed use of deprecated concat_binary. Patch supplied by
Steve Vinoski

10-06-2010 - * Fixed bug in https requests not going via the proxy

12-05-2010 - * Added support for the CONNECT method to tunnel HTTPS through
a proxy. When a https URL is requested through a proxy,
ibrowse will automatically use the CONNECT method to first
setup a tunnel through the proxy. Once this succeeds, the
actual request is dispatched. Successfully tested with the
new SSL implementation in R13B-03
* Added SSL support for direct connections.
See ibrowse:spawn_worker_process/1 and
ibrowse:spawn_link_worker_process/1
* Added option to return raw status line and raw unparsed headers

23-04-2010 - * Fixes to URL parsing by Karol Skocik

08-11-2009 - * Added option headers_as_is

04-10-2009 - * Patch from Kostis Sagonas to cleanup some code and suppress
dialyzer warnings

24-09-2009 - * When a filename was supplied with the 'save_response_to_file'
option, the option was being ignored. Bug report from
Adam Kocoloski

05-09-2009 - * Introduced option to allow caller to set socket options.

29-07-2009 - * The ETS table created for load balancing of requests was not
being deleted which led to the node not being able to create
any more ETS tables if queries were made to many number of
webservers. ibrowse now deletes the ETS table it creates once the
last connection to a webserver is dropped.
Reported by Seth Falcon.
* Spurious data being returned at end of body in certain cases of
chunked encoded responses from the server.
Reported by Chris Newcombe.

03-07-2009 - Added option {stream_to, {Pid, once}} which allows the caller
to control when it wants to receive more data. If this option
is used, the call ibrowse:stream_next(Req_id) should be used
to get more data.
* Patch submitted by Steve Vinoski to remove compiler warnings
about the use of obsolete guards

29-06-2009 - * Fixed following issues reported by Oscar Hellstr?m
* Use {active, once} instead of {active, true}
* Fix 'dodgy' timeout handling
* Use binaries internally instead of lists to reduce memory
consumption on 64 bit platforms. The default response format
is still 'list' to maintain backwards compatibility. Use the
option {response_format, binary} to get responses as binaries.
* Fixed chunking bug (reported by Adam Kocoloski)
* Added new option {inactivity_timeout, Milliseconds} to timeout
requests if no data is received on the link for the specified
interval. Useful when responses are large and links are flaky.
* Added ibrowse:all_trace_off/0 to turn off all tracing
* Change to the way responses to asynchronous requests are
returned. The following messages have been removed.
* {ibrowse_async_response, Req_id, {chunk_start, Chunk_size}}
* {ibrowse_async_response, Req_id, chunk_end}
* Fixed Makefiles as part of Debian packaging
(thanks to Thomas Lindgren)
* Moved repository from Sourceforge to Github

11-06-2009 - * Added option to control size of streamed chunks. Also added
option for the client to receive responses in binary format.

21-05-2008 - * Fixed bug in reading some options from the ibrowse.conf file.
Reported by Erik Reitsma on the erlyaws mailing list
* Fixed bug when cleaning up closing connections

27-03-2008 - * Major rewrite of the load balancing feature. Additional module,
ibrowse_lb.erl, introduced to achieve this.
* Can now get a handle to a connection process which is not part of
the load balancing pool. Useful when an application is making
requests to a webserver which are time consuming (such as
uploading a large file). Such requests can be put on a separate
connection, and all other smaller/quicker requests can use the
load balancing pool. See ibrowse:spawn_worker_process/2 and
ibrowse:spawn_link_worker_process/2
* Ram Krishnan sent a patch to enable a client to send a lot of
data in a request by providing a fun which is invoked by the
connection handling process. This fun can fetch the data from
any where. This is useful when trying to upload a large file
to a webserver.
* Use the TCP_NODELAY option on every socket by default
* Rudimentary support for load testing of ibrowse. Undocumented,
but see ibrowse_test:load_test/3. Use the source, Luke!
* New function ibrowse:show_dest_status/2 to view state of
connections/pipelines to a web server

20-02-2008 - Ram Krishnan sent another patch for another hidden bug in the
save_response_to_file feature.

07-02-2008 - Ram Krishnan (kriyative _at_ gmail dot com) sent a simple patch to
enable specifying the filename in the save_response_to_file option.
When testing the patch, I realised that my original implementation
of this feature was quite flaky and a lot of corner cases were
not covered. Fixed all of them. Thanks Ram!

17-10-2007 - Matthew Reilly (matthew dot reilly _at_ sipphone dot com)
sent a bug report and a fix. If the chunk trailer spans two TCP
packets, then ibrowse fails to recognise that the chunked transfer
has ended.

29-08-2007 - Bug report by Peter Kristensen(ptx _at_ daimi dot au dot dk).
ibrowse crashes when the webserver returns just the Status line
and nothing else.

28-06-2007 - Added host_header option to enable connection to secure sites
via stunnel

20-04-2007 - Geoff Cant sent a patch to remove URL encoding for digits in
ibrowse_lib:url_encode/1.
ibrowse had a dependency on the inets application because the
ibrowse_http_client.erl invoked httpd_util:encode_base64/1. This
dependency is now removed and the encode_base64/1 has been
implemented in ibrowse_lib.erl

06-03-2007 - Eric Merritt sent a patch to support WebDAV requests.

12-01-2007 - Derek Upham sent in a bug fix. The reset_state function was not
behaving correctly when the transfer encoding was not chunked.

13-11-2006 - Youn?s Hafri reported a bug where ibrowse was not returning the
temporary filename when the server was closing the connection
after sending the data (as in HTTP/1.0).
Released ibrowse under the BSD license

12-10-2006 - Chris Newcombe reported bug in dealing with requests where no
body is expected in the response. The first request would succeed
and the next request would hang.

24-May-2006 - Sean Hinde reported a bug. Async responses with pipelining was
returning the wrong result.

08-Dec-2005 - Richard Cameron (camster@citeulike.org). Patch to ibrowse to
prevent port number being included in the Host header when port
80 is intended.

22-Nov-2005 - Added ability to generate requests using the Chunked
Transfer-Encoding.

08-May-2005 - Youn?s Hafri made a CRUX LINUX port of ibrowse.
