v3.0.0 - aborted

v2.5.5 (2021-03-15)

• Cohttp_async.resolve_local_file, Cohttp_lwt.resolve_local_file and Cohttp_lwt_unix.resolve_file are now the same code under the hood (Cohttp.Path.resolve_local_file). The old names have been preserved for compatibility, but will be marked as deprecated in the next release. This changes the behavior of Cohttp_lwt_unix.resolve_file: it now percent-decodes the paths and blocks escaping from the docroot correctly. This also fixes and tests the corner cases in these methods when the docroot is empty. (ewanmellor #755)

v2.5.4 (2020-07-21)

• cohttp: a change in #694 modified the semantics of Header.replace. The semantics change is reverted, and a new Header.update function is introduced, following the semantics of Map.update. (#702 mseri)

• async: use Pipe.singleton instead of Pipe.of_list as it is more efficient (#677 smuenzel-js)

v2.3.0 (2019-08-18)

• use conduit-mirage instead of mirage-conduit, which was renamed upstream in conduit. The minimum OCaml version supported for conduit-mirage is now OCaml 4.07 and higher. (#672 avsm)

• remove deprecation warnings in OCaml 4.08.0 using stdlib-shims (#672 avsm)

• async: do not read body if none is present (#671 emillon)

v2.2.0 (2019-07-20)

• Previously if the client closed the connection while cohttp was handling a request, the server would crash (by default, unless the user overrode that using on_exn or changing Lwt's async exception handler). Now, cohttp will just log this at info level and continue. Exceptions produced by user code are logged as errors, while other exceptions generated by cohttp call back to the conduit exception handler, as before. (#669 talex5)

v2.1.3 (2019-07-12)

• support uri.3.0.0 that has optional sexp support (#668 avsm)

• use re.1.9.0 api to remove deprecation warnings (#664 vbmithr)

v2.1.1 (2019-04-05)

• cohttp-mirage: remove dependency on the result module (#662 hannesm)

• Support Async v0.12.0 and higher (#661 copy)

v2.1.0 (2019-03-01)

• cohttp-mirage: update to the newest Mirage_kv.RO API

v2.0.0 (2019-02-04)

Compatibility breaking interface changes:

Async: Expert response action no longer writes empty HTTP body (#647 by andreas)

In cohttp.0.99, a number of subpackages were turned into explicit opam packages to simplify dependency management. To aid migration, some compatability shims were left in place so that the old findlib names would continue to work. They have now been removed as of this release. If you were still using them, then please rename them as follows:

• cohttp.lwt-core -> cohttp-lwt

• cohttp.lwt -> cohttp-lwt-unix

• cohttp.js -> cohttp-lwt-jsoo

• cohttp.async -> cohttp-async

• cohttp.top -> cohttp-top

• Lwt-unix: add a ?backlog argument to the serve function (samoht)

• Use the uri.2.0.0 interfaces for sexpression generation of types (avsm)

• Switch to sexplib0 for a more lightweight s-expression library (mseri)

• Ppx dependencies aren't just build time dependencies (#625 by rgrinberg)

v1.1.0 (2018-03-28)

• Add an "expert mode" to hand off raw responses to a custom handler, which in turns makes protocols like Websockets easier (#488 by msaffer).

• cohttp-lwt{,-unix}: wrap the libraries in top-level modules (#568)

• opam: improve dependencies (#574, #566, #575)

• cohttp: add the convenience function Header.is_empty (#576)

• fix compatibility with OCaml 4.06 and -safe-string (#580, #581)

v0.99.0 (2017-07-12)

Port build to jbuilder, and break up OPAM packages into multiple independent packages instead of being optional dependencies against the main cohttp package. This makes it significantly easier to depend on precisely the libraries you need, but requires porting applications to use the new ocamlfind and opam scheme.

The new package layout is:

• cohttp: the main Cohttp module

• cohttp-lwt: the portable Lwt implementation

• cohttp-lwt-unix: the Lwt/Unix implementation

• cohttp-lwt-jsoo: the js-of-ocaml JavaScript implementation

• cohttp-async: the Jane Street Async implementation

• mirage-http: the MirageOS compatible implementation

• cohttp-top: a toplevel printer for the Cohttp types.

In each of these packages, the opam and ocamlfind package names are now the same, so you will need to rename the former subpackages such as cohttp.async to cohttp-async. The implementation is otherwise the same, so no other code changes should be required.

In return for these breaking changes to the packaging, it is now significantly easier to depend on a particular backend, also for us to rev the interfaces towards a stable 1.0 release. Jbuilder also builds the source tree around 4x faster than it did previously.

A number of deprecation warnings have been added to the source tree as well to mark the interfaces that will be removed in 1.0. These are Cohttp_lwt.{Client,Server,Net}, and a Cohttp_lwt.Body alias was added to deprecate the direct use of Cohttp_lwt_body. This will let us unify the namespaces of all the packages to use a single top-level module for each package in the future.

Most of the release and packaging work here was done by rgrinberg and avsm.

0.15.1 (2015-01-10):

• Lwt 2.4.7 renamed blit_bytes_string to blit_to_bytes, so depend on the newer API now. (#230)

• Use cmdliner in all of the Lwt client and server binaries. This gives cohttp-lwt-server a nice Unix-like command-line interface now that can be viewed with the --help option. (#218 via Runhang Li)

• Improve oasis constraints and regenerate opam file (#229 via Christophe Troestler).

0.15.0 (2014-12-24):

Compatibility breaking interface changes:

• Change Cohttp_lwt_body.map to use a non-labelled type to fit the Lwt style better (#200).

• Depend on Base64 version 2, which uses B64 as the toplevel module name (#220).

New features and bug fixes:

• Remove use of deprecated Lwt_unix.run and replace it with Lwt_main.run. Should be no observable external change (#217).

• Improve ocamldoc of Cohttp.S signature (#221).

0.14.0 (2014-12-18):

Compatibility breaking interface changes:

• Simplify the Lwt server signature, so that manual construction of a callback is no longer required (#210). Code that previous looked like:

   let conn_closed (_,conn_id) () = <...>
   let config = { Server.callback; conn_closed } in

should now be:

   let conn_closed (_,conn_id) = <...>
   let config = Server.make ~callback ~conn_closed () in

• Remove the Cohttp.Base64 module in favour of the external base64 library (which is now a new dependency).

New features and bug fixes:

• Lwt respond_error now defaults to an internal server error if no status code is specified (#212).

• Modernise the opam file using the OPAM 1.2 workflow (#211).

• Flush the response body to the network by default, rather than buffering by default. The ?flush optional parameter can still be explicitly set to false if flushing is not desired (#205).

0.13.0 (2014-12-05):

Compatibility breaking interface changes:

• Add sexp converters for Conduit contexts and Lwt client and server modules and module types.

New features and bug fixes:

• Can use the Conduit 0.7+ CONDUIT_TLS=native environment variable to make HTTPS requests using the pure OCaml TLS stack instead of depending on OpenSSL bindings. All of the installed binaries (client and server) can work in this mode.

• Add Cohttp_lwt_unix_debug which lets libraries control the debugging output from Cohttp. Previously the only way to do this was to set the COHTTP_DEBUG environment variable at the program start.

• Add cohttp-curl-lwt as a lightweight URI fetcher from the command-line. It uses the cmdliner as a new dependency.

• Remove build dependency check on lwt.ssl for cohttp.lwt. This has been moved to conduit, so only lwt.unix is needed here now.

0.12.0 (2014-11-07):

Compatibility breaking interface changes:

• Rename Cohttp.Auth.t to Cohttp.Auth.credential and Cohttp.Auth.req to Cohttp.Auth.challenge. Also expose an Other variant to make it more extensible for unknown authentication types. The Cohttp.Auth functions using these types have also been renamed accordingly.

• Rename Cohttp.Transfer.encoding_to_string to string_of_encoding for consistency with the rest of Cohttp's APIs.

• The has_body function in the Request and Response modules now explicitly signals when the body size is unknown.

• Move all the module type signatures into Cohttp.S.

• If users have percent-encoded file names, their resolution is changed: resolve_local_file in Cohttp_async and Cohttp_lwt now always percent-decode paths (#157)

• Remove the Cohttp_lwt.Server.server type synonym to t.

• When reading data from a HTTP body stream using the Fixed encoding, we need to maintain state (bytes remaining) so we know when to finish. The Cohttp.Request and Cohttp.Response interfaces now expose a reader and writer types to track this safely.

• Add is_empty function to the Cohttp.S.Body module type.

• Add Strings representation to Cohttp.Body to efficiently hold a list of body chunks.

• Move flushing logic for HTTP bodies into the portable Request and Response modules instead of individual Lwt and Async backends.

• Port module interfaces to the latest Conduit (0.6.0+) API.

• Cohttp requires OCaml 4.01.0 or higher now.

New features and bugfixes:

• Add a Cohttp_lwt_xhr JavaScript backend that enables Cohttp logic to be mapped to XMLHTTPRequest in browsers via js_of_ocaml (via Andy Ray).

• Add a Cohttp.String_io and String_io_lwt module that uses OCaml string or Buffer.t to read and write HTTP requests and responses instead of network connections.

• cohttp_server_lwt and cohttp_server_async now return better errors (#158)

• cohttp_server_lwt and cohttp_server_async now serve indexes directly (#162)

• [lwt] Add stop thread to terminate a running server if it finishes (#147).

• Add Cohttp.Connection.compare to make ordering of connections possible.

• Add Body.map and Body.as_pipe to work with HTTP bodies more easily.

• Remove link-time dependency on camlp4 via META fixes (#127).

• Support HTTP methods and versions other than the standard ones. (#142).

• Improve cohttp_server_lwt and cohttp_server_async directory listings (#158)

• Fix Cohttp_async.resolve_local_file directory traversal vulnerability (#158)

• [async] In the Async server, do not close the Reader too early.

• [async] Close file descriptors more eagerly in the HTTP client (#167).

• Reduce thread allocation by replacing return <const> with return_none, return_unit or return_nil.

0.11.2 (2014-04-21)

• Fix build by add a missing build-deps in _oasis.

0.11.1 (2014-04-17):

• Remove an errant async_ssl reference left in the _oasis file that is now handled by the Conduit library (#116).

• Add an Lwt-based SimpleHTTPServer equivalent as cohttp-server-lwt (#108).

• Cohttp.Connection.t now exposes sexp accessor functions (#117).

0.11.0 (2014-04-01):

• Remove dependency on ocaml-re in order to make library POSIX thread-safe.

• Shift most of the connection handling logic out to a Conduit library that worries about which SSL library to use, and fails if SSL is not available.

• Add Async-SSL support for both client and server (#102).

• Add Lwt-SSL support for the server side (the client side existed before).

• Fix buggy Async chunked POST handling.

0.10.0 (2014-03-02):

• Interface change: The Request and Response module types now explicitly signal Eof and Invalid (for errors), to help the backend distinguish them.

• Interface change: Unify HTTP body handling across backends into a Cohttp.Body module. This is extended by Async/Lwt implementations with their specific ways of handling bodies (Pipes for Async, or Lwt_stream for Lwt).

• [lwt] Interface change: HTTP client calls now raise Lwt exceptions rather than return an option type. This permits better error handling in Lwt.

• [lwt] Interface change: The Server callback now always provides a body argument, since Cohttp_lwt_body now explicitly supports empty bodys.

• Add Cohttp.Header.is_keep_alive to test if a connection should be reused.

• [lwt] Respect the keep-alive header in the server request handling.

• [async] Add a Body that takes a Pipe or a string, similarly to Lwt.

• Install cohttp-server binary even if tests are disabled.

• Begin an examples directory with some simple uses of the library.

0.9.16 (2014-01-30):

• Add some module type equalities in Cohttp_lwt_unix so that Cohttp_lwt_unix.Server.Request.IO.ic can be equivalen to Lwt_io.input_channel.

• Add sexp converters to most Cohttp types (#83).

• Improve Travis tests to cover more upstream users of Cohttp.

• Refactor build flags to let the portable Lwt-core be built independently of Lwt.unix.

0.9.15 (2014-01-11):

• Remove Cohttp_mirage libraries, which have now moved to mirage/mirage-http-* on GitHub.

• Add an "HTTP only" Cookie attribute (#69).

• Fix parsing of cookies with = in the values (#71).

• Add Max-age support for cookies (#70).

• Make the Response record fields mutable to match the Request (#67).

• Fix compilation with Async 109.58.00 (#77).

• Remove the >> operator as it was unused and had incorrect precedence (#79).

0.9.14 (2013-12-15):

• Install a cohttp-server binary that serves local directory contents via a web server (#54).

• Add a flush function to the IO module type and implement in Lwt/Async/Mirage.

• Autogenerate HTTP codes from citricsquid's JSON representation of the HTTP RFCs.

• Always set TCP_NODELAY for Lwt/Unix server sockets for low-latency responses (#58).

• Added a Server-Side Events test-case from the HTML5 Doctor. See lib_test/README.md.

• Async.Server response now takes an optional body rather than a mandatory body option (#62).

• Regenerate build system using OASIS 0.4.0.

0.9.13 (2013-12-10):

• Rename Cookie creation parameters for consistency (interface breaking, see #44).

• Fix transfer-length detection (regression from 0.9.11 in #42).

• Add Merin editor file (#41).

0.9.11 (2013-10-27):

• Request module: When sending a request, add the port information in the host header field if available.

• Request module: When parsing a request, add scheme, host and port information in the uri.

• TCP server: When creating the socket for the server, do not force PF_INET6 but take the sockaddr value.

• Explicitly flush the debug output when the COHTTP_DEBUG env variable is set.

• [async] Add client head/post/patch/delete methods.

• [lwt] Do not send chunked encoding headers with GET/DELETE requests that have no body.

0.9.9 (2013-06-12):

• Disable the mirage executable test as it was building too aggressively and breaking builds.

0.9.8 (2013-05-24):

• Lwt interface change: Rewrite Lwt backends to share code, and remove duplicate function calls from Uri.

• Depend on Uri 1.3.8+ as it exposes the parameter query functions now removed from Request.

• Do not depend on Cstruct in core library, as only Mirage needs it.

• Remove Cohttp_async.body type alias and just use string Pipe.Reader.t for more explicit types.

0.9.7 (2013-05-10):

• Attach a GC finaliser to the Lwt client to ensure that even an HTTP body isn't consumed, the socket will eventually be closed (#11).

• Add an Async.Server interface, and revise the Client interface to be more in line with Core standards.

• Add 422 Unprocessable Entity code.

• Refactor modules better across Lwt/Async, but incompatible with earlier releases for Async (Lwt is unchanged at present).

• Add user agent string and User-Agent header helper function
