There are a few problems with this version of tinyproxy, but I'm hoping
|
||||
the benefits outweigh the negative. For some reason tinyproxy is not
|
||||
able to handle requests to *.x10.com sites. (As someone mentioned: "maybe
|
||||
this is a feature?" :) There also seem to be a few other random sites
|
||||
where tinyproxy is not communicating with the server correctly. If you
|
||||
find any such sites, let me know so I can add it to the list of domains
|
||||
where tinyproxy is failing. I'll need this information for the regression
|
||||
tests I plan on performing on the next release.
|
||||
It's been a few months since I release the 1.4.3 version. That's
|
||||
a bit longer than I want to take with this release (which I originally
|
||||
thought would be released a week after the 1.4.3 release in November
|
||||
21, 2001 :), but my real life kind of intruded on the project.
|
||||
Anyway, this release doesn't add any new features or functions; it's
|
||||
basically a bug fix and standard compliance release. A few
|
||||
portability bugs have been fixed, and I've rewritten a few request
|
||||
processing functions to make them more compliant with the HTTP
|
||||
standard.
|
||||
|
||||
As for the next release (1.5.0), I will not be adding new features.
|
||||
tinyproxy doesn't currently conform correctly to either the HTTP/1.0
|
||||
or the HTTP/1.1 standards. The goal of the 1.5 release therefore is
|
||||
to achieve standards compliance with at least HTTP/1.0. If you have
|
||||
looked at the tinyproxy code you will have noticed that all the real
|
||||
work of the proxy is performed in the reqs.c file. Therefore, other
|
||||
than bug fixes in the other files, only reqs.c should be changed in
|
||||
the 1.5.0 release. Basically, I'm hoping to just gut and replace the
|
||||
reqs.c file with a standards compliant version and release a new version.
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on my schedule I should have the new version ready for
|
||||
pre-testing sometime next week. If you have any suggestions for improving
|
||||
tinyproxy please let me know, but I will not be incorporating them until
|
||||
1.6 (which _hopefully_ should come out fairly quickly after 1.5 has
|
||||
stabilised.)
|
||||
|
||||
"Thank you" go out to all who have helped find bugs in the 1.4.3
|
||||
candidates. You know who you are, and if you don't look in the ChangeLog
|
||||
for your name. :)
|
||||
Now, I've tested the request related code personally with all the
|
||||
configurations I can think of, but I can't claim that it will work
|
||||
perfectly with _every_ configuration and _every_ site. So, please
|
||||
give these pre-releases a thorough testing and let me know if there
|
||||
any problems you've noticed.
