afHttpClientExt

v2.1 Releases

A bespoke implementation of the HTTP protocol for SkySpark v3.1.x.

v2.1.16

• New: cert authentication scheme which facilitates setting the socket config for the client using keys in the specified SSL certificate.
• Chg: Now skips and warns when invalid Path values are set in Set-Cookie header.

v2.1.14

• Bug: HTTP Client now handles the case where multiple Set-Cookie headers are returned in a single HTTP response. Thanks to Altura Associates for bringing this to our attention.

v2.1.12

• Bug: Fixed HTTP "Quality Value" parsing error that could affect browsers with non-English locales.

v2.1.10

• Chg: Reworked and updated HTTP/1.1 Keep-Alive functionality
• Chg: Enhanced Quality Value parsing in HTTP Headers to allow for parameter inclusion
• Chg: Silently ignore Set-Cookie values that do not confirm to RFC standards
• Chg: More context is now given to JSON parsing errors
• Bug: Fixed UTF-8 sizing bug with high-end Unicode characters

v2.1.8

• Chg: Tidied up the display of HttpErr stacktraces, ensuring auth details are masked out.
• Bug: Fixed an issue with HTTP Cookie path matching. Sticky Cookies may not have been set / re-sent when they should have.

v2.1.6

• New: header, path, and query authentication mechanisms for setting custom values as HTTP headers, URL query parameters, and path segments.

  Thanks go to BAM Energy Systems for sponsoring theses new authentication mechanisms.

• New: A passwords and credentials set via afHttpAuth() are now masked from debug logs.
• New: A new camelCase option for afHttpReadFromJson() and afHttpResponse() that normalises all sorts of key and header names into coherent camelCase.
• New: Added extra guards against Gzipped responses with Chunked Transfer encoding and NO content to avoid java.io.EOFException errors.
• Chg: The safeNames option (for the same functions) has changed to reuse the standard SkyFoundry implementation.

  WARNING: This is a BACKWARDS BREAKING CHANGE. To retain previous functionality, use the new camelCase option instead.

• Bug: Bearer authentication scheme can now use SkySpark secure store to lookup passwords.

v2.1.4

• Chg: Updated the underlying afHttpClient library to v2.1.6.
• Bug: Masking HTTP header values in debug dumps could alter the actual HTTP request / response objects.

v2.1.2

• New: Option to disable ZLIB header and alder checksum fields in deflate responses. Thanks go to David Binstock for reporting.
• New: Ability to clear authentication schemes and content decoding.
• Chg: Better handling of Marker param values passed to afHttpUriPlusQuery().

v2.1.0

• New: afHttpConfig() function to set config for the current HTTP Client session.
• Chg: Updated to run on SkySpark v3.1.
