Revision history for HTTP::Recorder

0.05 17 August 2005

Fixed a bug where link text wasn't being un-escaped before being logged.

Significant changes in the use of the Control Panel:

• The showwindow option is gone (no popups any more).
• If you want to use the control panel, you need to start there.
• The control panel now spawns a window for navigation.
• The navigation window updates the Control Panel via Javascript.

Download button downloads the script file directly.

0.04 17 August 2005

Parse and manipulate parameters with URI::QueryParam and HTTP::Request::Params, rather than doing it by hand.

0.03_03 16 August 2005

Several improvements to the Control Panel UI

• background color for easier reading
• script textarea resizes with window
• JavaScript confirmation before deleting script

Recording changes

• Log 0, false, and empty values
• Use click() instead of submit_form()

Changed the format of the %fields argument to Logger::SetFieldsAndSubmit. This is unlikely to affect you unless you've made a subclass or are using that method directly.

Support forms with multiple Submit buttons.

Always use single quotes around arguments.

Applied a patch from alex@kapranoff.ru (rt.cpan.org #6711) to optionally ignore gets for favicon.ico. On by default.

Applied a patch from alex@kapranoff.ru (rt.cpan.org #6646) so that the output script doesn't try to set hidden fields.

Additional documentation

0.02 15 February 2004

Improved rewriting for pages with JavaScript:

• Don't rewrite href="javascript:XXX" links or text inside them
• Change the way forms are re-written, so that JavaScript won't fail.

Use link indices as well as names (supports multiple links of the same name on a single page).

Preserve page titles.

Use form names when available, rather than form numbers.

Keep attributes in their original order on rewrite.

Support links with quotes (") in them.

Only try to rewrite text/ content (images, etc. won't be corrupted).
