update to p5-libwww-5.51
If LWP::UserAgent::env_proxy is called in a CGI environment, the
case-insensitivity when looking for "http_proxy"
permits "HTTP_PROXY" to be found, but this can be trivially set by the
web client using the "Proxy:" header. The fix applied is that
$ENV{HTTP_PROXY} is not longer honored for CGI scripts.
The CGI_HTTP_PROXY environment variable can be used instead.
Changes:
- Fix for test cases that failed because of URI-1.10 now encode
space as '+' instead of '%20.
- Makefile.PL: Require URI-1.10.
HTTP::Daemon now accepts any non-space character as method name
on the request line. It used to fail on methods like "M-POST"
because it only allowed \w-chars.
- HTTP::Date now allow fractional seconds in ISO date formats.
- HTTP::Request::Common will now calculate Content-length
even if $DYNAMIC_FILE_UPLOAD is set.
