Bug #98782 for libwww-perl: CONNECT request URL different in 6.05 and 6.08

_version_ Linux mephisto.linguamatics.com 2.6.18-308.1.1.el5xen #1 SMP Wed Mar 7 04:57:35 EST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for x86_64-linux _observed_ I have found that CONNECT requests are different depending on whether libwww-perl 6.05 or libwww-perl 6.08 is used: ---- #!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use Data::Dumper; use LWP::UserAgent; my $ua=LWP::UserAgent->new(keep_alive=>1); my $request = HTTP::Request->new(CONNECT => "http://google.com:80/test"); my $response=$ua->request($request); print Dumper $response; ---- And these are the requests submitted by them, captured with tcpdump and viewed in wireshark. Note the different URL and the corresponding different response. I noticed this on local servers after a recent upgrade to 6.08 on one of our clients. We have been running libwww-perl 6.02 and 5.833 locally for a long time. I note that there have been changes in an apparently related area in https://github.com/libwww-perl/libwww-perl/commit/cb80c2ddb70dff2f892ade86d2aa5ce4939442f8 but I haven't attempted to debug it in detail. _exhibits_ I'm attaching * google_test.txt - console output for two runs of the given script * http.pcap - the tcpdump capture for two runs of the given script -- James Thomas Linguamatics Ltd 324 Cambridge Science Park Milton Road Cambridge CB4 0WG UK Tel: +44 1223 651910 Fax: +44 1223 654869 URL: http://www.linguamatics.com
