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. + 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. - 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. :) - - Robert James Kaes - November 21, 2001 + Robert James Kaes + April 8, 2002
