outstanding for later:

Net::Pcap::FindDevice:

• Spin off as a separate distribution

Sniffer::HTTP

• implement multiple outstanding requests/responses for one connection
• find out why it doesn't listen on just port 80

v0.22 (20110430):

• More configurability of ->run(), suggested by Keith Schincke
• C<device> can now be a preconfigured Net::Pcap device
• C<netmask> can now be specified, in case you have a capture interface without an IP address

v0.21 (20110327):

• Fix loop behaviour in Sniffer::HTTP::flush_window to process more than one packet . Add synopsis to dump-raw.pl . Fix tests, again

v0.20 (20110322):

• POD fixes
• Reduced default value for snaplen libpcap parameter
• Made snaplen parameter configurable, after discussion in http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=894262

v0.19 (20090215):

• Sniffer::HTTP: src_port and dst_port are now initialized from the first packet if they are yet unset

v0.18 (20081109):

• Bail out of testing if no device is found by Net::Pcap . Only test changes, no upgrade necessary.

v0.17 (20070113):

• James Mastros suggested skipping more tests if not running as root on non-Win32 platforms. The tests now output a warning if you are not on Win32 and $> is nonzero. The tests will still be run but likely you need to execute them using

sudo make test

        to get results unobstructed by permissions. This
        affects
            t/01-find-device.t
            t/05-dump-to-file.t

v0.16 (20060918):

• Fixed a typo in the synopsis of HTTP::Sniffer
• POD fixes
• "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" is now case insensitive, thanks to Andre Nurwono
• Fix t/05-dump-to-file.t to gracefully fail if the user cannot sniff due to (likely) permission problems.

v0.15 (20060605):

• Added the missing File::Slurp prerequisite, found by Joshua Ben Jore
• No code/functionality changes

v0.14 (20060426):

• Fixed a bug where too much data was parsed, thanks to Karl Pietri for the report and capture file

v0.13 (200602xx):

• added missing dependency on Exporter::Lite (reported by J. Jore)
• added prerequisite of libpcap of at least 0.8
• fixed stupid error that never let you specify an interface
• disabled the 'any' device as it returns frames in a format that is different from Ethernet frames (and the libpcap documentation is opaque to me in that regard)

v0.12 (20051112):

• live-http-headers.pl now also outputs the status message of the response.
• dropped support for v0.04 of Net::Pcap, as there is a PPM for Net::Pcap v0.09 on uwinnipeg now: Perl 5.6: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages Perl 5.8: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms

v0.11 (20051107):

• Refactored code out into Net::Pcap::FindDevice which will soon begin a life of its own in a separate distribution (thanks to Bart Lateur and James Mastros)
• You can specify a device by IP and not just by name or description. (suggested by Bart Lateur)
• The live-capture test t/05 now has an alarm() to kill itself if it takes over 60 seconds.

v0.10 (20051106):

• Staleness calbacks didn't work at all. Fixed now.

v0.09 (20051106):

• added timeout to Sniffer::HTTP
• added stale connection detection to Sniffer::HTTP
• added last_activity to Sniffer::Connection
• added timestamp handling from Net::Pcap so even captures play back with the correct timestamps
• add "Tee to file" capability to ->run() under the option name "capture_file"

v0.08 (20051104):

• Make magic less OS dependent:
  • qr// checks against keys and values, regardless of OS
• guard against ->run(qr//), ->run(undef), ->run("") - these are handled gracefully
• Make request absolute from Host: header
• Reading from libpcap capture files works, even with filters
• Add (example of) reading from an ethereal or Wireshark capture (see t/03*)
• Fixed partially borked handling of Transfer-Encoding: chunked
• Find and remember port number from TCP packets and put it in the request (faked via Host: header)

v0.07 (20051103)

• Added Pcap example filters
• added much more magic to select a suitable interface to listen on. See find_device().

v0.06 (200510xx)

• Fixed crash if Sniffer::HTTP object is created without a log() callback.
• The Pcap filter parameter was not used at all...

v0.05 (200510xx)

• Added much documentation and clarifications thanks to (in no order) theorbtwo, blokhead, Bart Lateur,
• Added live-http-headers.pl example script
• Added methods to handle Ethernet and IP packets
• Renamed handle_packet to handle_tcp_packet
• handle_tcp_packet now accepts both, a raw TCP frame or a NetPacket::TCP hash
• The demo script live-http-headers.pl has better/saner defaults
• The test script dump-raw.pl has better/saner defaults
• added simplicistic ->run method that tries to use sane defaults
• Net::Pcap is now a prerequisite

v0.04 (200510xx)

• Fixed the out-of-order TCP problem for now
• added some first semblance of a test suite

v0.03 (200510xx)

• some public release
