Hi there!
I would need partial HTTP/1.1 support in order to have "keep alive"
connections for a web proxy. It seems that libwww-perl 5 is almost up
to the task because Bob McElrath's FilterProxy version 0.29 claims to
work like that (see http://draal.physics.wisc.edu/FilterProxy/).
Looking at his code, there are many things that really should be part
of libwww-perl like the hack whith client protocol guessing or the
${*$client}{'httpd_nomore'} = 0;
line...
Now, for my needs, should I switch to libwww-perl 6 alpha or stay with
libwww-perl 5? Who is working on HTTP/1.1 support in libwww-perl 5
(the TODO file has "HTTP/1.1 support is on its way")? How can I help?
